Twitter Reacts as Tottenham's Steven Bergwijn Marks Spurs Debut With Super Strike

Just when you think it can't get any worse for Manchester City, they go and fall on their face again. 

With 13 games remaining, they sit 22 points off the top and the most recent bump in what has been a limp title defence ​came at the ​Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, thanks largely to one man.

M̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶D̶e̶a̶n̶ Steven Bergwijn. 

The Dutchman has the Spurs debut of his dreams, as just days after his arrival from PSV, he started, and marked the occasion with a sumptuous volley on his new side's way to a crucial home victory over the defending champions. 

​​

​​Though the game seemed destined for a 0-0 until the hour mark, the earlier moments of the game certainly weren't without drama drama. A couple of key decisions from referee Mike Dean and the trusty assistance of the VAR room gave us plenty of talking points, the first coming around the half-hour mark.

It had initially looked as if Serge Aurier's foul on Sergio Aguero would be overlooked, but after play had resumed for four minutes, it was pulled back, and given. Ilkay Gundogan saw the resulting spot-kick saved, and after Hugo Lloris looked to bring down Raheem Sterling in the aftermath, the technology this time ruled against the visitors. 

City fans certainly had some opinions. 

​​The second came 15 minutes into the second half, and wasn't without controversy of its own. Oleksandr Zinchenko was shown a second yellow for bringing down Harry Winks on the break. 

It looked a touch soft...

 

Spurs got the opener just moments later, and had killed the game off within ten. It was Son Heung-min who came up with the crucial second, sending the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium into raptures and making sure of what was a massive win. 

It took a slight deflection off Fernandinho, but did Tottenham fans care? No. Not even slightly. 

​​

It was Tottenham's second goal ​​from as many shots on target. The smash and grab ones are the best anyway. 

All in all, it was a result that boosted Spurs' top four aspirations and lowered City's title chances further into the grave. An eventful afternoon's work.
