Dejan Kulusevski hit LeBron James’ signature celebration after scoring the 90th-minute equaliser against Man City

Following a challenging run of three consecutive defeats, Spurs found redemption as the Swedish winger netted the crucial goal. Kulusevski added an extra layer of excitement by performing NBA legend LeBron James’ famous ‘Silencer’ celebration.

 

The late equalizer sparked jubilation in the Tottenham camp, contrasting with the agony experienced by City and manager Pep Guardiola. A striking image captured Guardiola falling to the ground in despair as his team succumbed to a third successive Premier League draw.

 

Controversy also played a role in the match, with referee Simon Hooper awarding a free-kick to City despite Jack Grealish running clear through on goal in the closing stages. The decision left the Citizens squad irate, surrounding the match official and exchanging words with him after the final whistle.

 

Twice City took the lead at the Etihad Stadium, with Son Heung-min breaking the deadlock, only to score an own goal moments later. Phil Foden then contributed to a fine City move, securing the lead before halftime, but Giovani Lo Celso leveled the match in the 69th minute.

 

Substitute Jeremy Doku set the stage for a dramatic conclusion, with Grealish appearing to be the matchwinner after tapping home from close range in the 81st minute. However, in a shocking twist, Kulusevski connected with Brennan Johnson’s delivery from the left flank, heading the ball into the top left corner and inflicting a third consecutive Premier League draw on City.
