Guardiola signed a new two-year City contract ahead of the game and had been hoping to snap his team's losing streak against Spurs. However, a James Maddison brace and goals from Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson simply poured more misery on the Catalan and his struggling side. League leaders Liverpool can now move eight points clear of City with a victory over struggling Southampton on Sunday at St Mary's Stadium.
