STAT ATTACK: Tottenham v Man City - Kane's drought over, City's defensive woe and a 53-year record

Tottenham scored 4+ goals in a league game against Manchester City for the first time since September 1962, when they won 4-2.

Spurs have now won three successive Premier League games – their best run in the competition since February 2015.

Meanwhile, Man City have now lost two successive PL games after having won the previous 11 in a row - just the second time under Manuel Pellegrini that they have done so (the other was a run of two games in April 2015).

The Citizens have conceded more goals in their last two PL games (six) than they had in their previous 11 combined (four).

Man City conceded 3+ goals in a single half of a Premier League game for the first time since September 2013 (three goals conceded in the second half of a 2-3 defeat).

This was City’s heaviest Premier League defeat since a 0-3 defeat to Liverpool in April 2011.

Harry Kane ended his personal goal drought of 748 minutes (12 hours, 28 mins) in all competitions for Spurs.

Kane’s goal was the 150th scored in the Premier League in 2015-16.

Since Erik Lamela made his PL debut on Sept 1st 2013, only Christian Eriksen (12) has more PL assists for Spurs than Lamela (10).

This was the first time that Lamela has scored and assisted in the same Premier League game for Spurs.
