Son burns City to spare Lloris blushes
Tottenham bailed out captain Hugo Lloris, storming back after a pair of uncharacteristic errors from the goalkeeper to snatch a 2-2 draw at Manchester City.
Within the space of five second-half minutes, Lloris mistakes had gifted goals to Leroy Sane and Kevin De Bruyne, the Belgium international scoring his first City goal in 14 games in the simplest manner.
City really had deserved to be ahead after a searing first-half performance, in which it had laid siege to Lloris's goal but somehow not taken the lead.
But, after Dele Alli nodded Spurs back into the contest, Pep Guardiola was apoplectic as Raheem Sterling was denied a clear penalty and Son Heung-min equalised within a minute.
A pulsating game swung back and forth and there was no end to the drama as debutant Gabriel Jesus was denied a first City goal by the offside flag, forcing City to settle for a draw that ought to have been much more.
A point apiece does little for either side's Premier League ambitions, but completes a fantastic day for Chelsea, which also saw Liverpool and Manchester United shell points and could be as many as nine points clear if it beats Hull City at home on Monday (AEDT).
