Man City vs Tottenham highlights: Goals and action from Premier League clash at Etihad Stadium

Gabriel Jesus was denied an injury-time winner by VAR as Manchester City had to settle for 2-2 with Tottenham in the Premier League's headline act on Saturday.

The Brazilian, on for Sergio Aguero, looked to have sealed victory for the champions in stoppage time when firing home after a corner, but his strike was ruled out for a handball by Aymeric Laporte in the build-up.

The scenes as the goal was chalked off were reminiscent of the dramatic ending to last season's Champions League quarter-final second leg between the sides at the same stadium. On that occasion, Raheem Sterling had a goal disallowed for offside by VAR in the third minute of injury time, which ultimately denied City a place in the semi-finals.

"Deja vu," City manager Pep Guardiola said following the game. "It's the second time. It's tough. But it is what it is."

The latest VAR ruling made the result all the more frustrating for City, which dominated the match and racked up 30 shots to the visitors' three.

In another incident in what proved to be an action-packed match, Guardiola appeared to take out his frustration on star striker Aguero, having angry words as he substituted him after the hour. The pair later appeared to make up.

City twice led with Kevin De Bruyne the chief creative force, creating both goals as Sterling scored in the 20th minuted and Aguero in the 35th. However, they were each cancelled out, firs by Erik Lamela inside three minutes and, with his first touch as a substitute, Lucas Moura. The Brazilian had been on the field for only 14 seconds when he glanced home a header at a corner.

It was a point Spurs will be happy to take as, despite having Christian Eriksen back in their side, they were outplayed. Tottenham and City are on four points, two behind Liverpool and Arsenal.
