It’s a night to forget for Manchester City as their shock 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium not only ended a remarkable home streak but also cemented a series of unwanted records for Pep Guardiola's side.
Antirecords Pile Up for City
End of Etihad Dominance: City’s loss marks their first home defeat since November 2022, snapping an extraordinary unbeaten run of 52 matches in all competitions.
Five Straight Losses: The defeat to Spurs also means City have now lost five consecutive games for the first time since 2006, a startling dip in form for the reigning Premier League champions.
Historical Parallel: Guardiola’s men are now the first defending English champions since Chelsea in 1956 to endure five straight defeats across all competitions—a statistic that underscores the severity of the current slump.
Guardiola’s Personal Worst: For the Catalan tactician, this marks an unprecedented low. Never before in his illustrious career at Barcelona, Bayern Munich, or City has he overseen a run of five straight losses.
