Haaland opened the scoring six minutes into the second half when he tapped in from Kevin De Bruyne’s pass before doubling City’s lead from the penalty spot after Jeremy Doku was brought down by Pedro Porro. Spurs, however, had a chance to equalise but City reserve goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, who came on after Ederson was injured in a challenge with Cristian Romero, stood up well to deny Son Heung-min when one-on-one with the South Korean.

“They’re a fantastic team. You know everyone knows that they want to play all the time and all praise to them,” Haaland said of Spurs. “It was really difficult. We came here to try and win and we won. That’s my only thing and I’m happy. I think we were a bit nervous. That’s normal, there’s a lot of emotions for everyone. Everyone knows the situation, but it’s about not thinking too much. Try to focus on your things to do and try to win.” 

‘Ortega is incredible’

He added: “Ortega man of the match...What can I say? He’s incredible and such a good guy as well, so I’m happy for him.”
