Spurs stunned as ruthless Haaland double sinks Tottenham
Manchester City striker ends goal drought in style to secure victory
Pep Guardiola's men move top of the Premier League with hard-fought win
Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of climbing into the Premier League's top four were extinguished in ruthless fashion as Erling Haaland's double condemned them to a 2-0 defeat against Manchester City.
Haaland had failed to find the net in his previous four matches, but he ended that barren spell with a clinical header from Kevin De Bruyne's cross in the 23rd minute.
The Norwegian doubled his tally just before the hour mark, pouncing on a loose ball in the Tottenham area and firing home from close range.
Tottenham, who had been the better side for much of the first half, were unable to find a way back into the game and remain fifth in the table, five points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
Manchester City, meanwhile, move top of the league, one point clear of Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
