Steven Bergwijn scored a spectacular volley as Tottenham Hotspur defeated 10-man Manchester City 2-0 on Sunday.

Hugo Lloris saved Ilkay Gundogan's penalty in a fiery first half which saw four players yellow carded, including Oleksandr Zinchenko for his role in a brawl which erupted following the missed spot-kick.

The game then turned irreversibly in Spurs' favour as Zinchenko received another yellow for a tactical foul on Harry Winks early in the second half.

After some fine build-up play by Lucas Moura, Bergwijn scored a brilliant volley from the edge of the area on his Tottenham debut to give Jose Mourinho's side the lead. Son Heung-min then sealed the victory with a drilled low shot that evaded Ederson at the near post.

The victory sees Spurs move up to fifth, now just four points adrift of the Champions League places, while City remain an almighty 22 points behind leaders Liverpool. Check out our player ratings in the gallery below:
