Man City

Harry Kane made history with his goal as Tottenham beat Man City and stopped Pep Guardiola's side from taking advantage of Arsenal's earlier loss.

- This was the first time since joining Manchester City that Erling Haaland failed to attempt a shot in a game. We know when we play against this team we have to suffer because they have the ball a lot but we moved well in the defensive situation and defended the goal in a brilliant way. [Leicester City](/football/team?id=375) in a potentially tricky Premier League clash on Feb. [Aston Villa](/football/team?id=362) (Feb. We knew very well that in that game (at City) we lost our key - our capacity to suffer. Yet that was precisely how City lost this game: [Rico Lewis](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/325564/Rico-Lewis) lost the ball near his own box and Tottenham pounced. To do it here against one of the best teams in the world, it's a special feeling." I was desperate to do it with a win as well, and in front of the home fans. [Kevin De Bruyne](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/134947/Kevin-De-Bruyne) -- City's best passer of the ball, and one of the finest the Premier League has ever seen -- was a decision that palpably backfired, but more than that, Guardiola's 4-2-4 setup did not have the desired effect. De Bruyne was introduced just before the hour mark, but City only marginally improved and the suspicion remains that despite his ferocious start to life in England, City are yet to find a way to consistently involve Haaland. In doing so, Kane became only the third player to score 200 goals in the Premier League era after Alan Shearer (260) and Wayne Rooney (208). Kane is also the quickest to reach that milestone, having required 304 games compared to Shearer (306) and Rooney (462).

"The amount of times they got counter-attacked on today, the amount of times they got broken through, the amount of space they gave up in midfield - that doesn't happen. "It's not the Manchester City of old." "When they lose it they win it back quickly and keep team pinned back. There have been times when I've watched his teams lose and think: "that's a Pep Guardiola performance". And I've said it a couple of times since," said Neville. "Arsenal fans have been up in arms about that thinking I'm not giving them respect.

Manchester City's bid to chop Arsenal's Premier League lead to two points was scuppered as Harry Kane's record-breaking goal earned Tottenham Hotspur a 1-0 ...

-- a reference to the fact he joined the club as an 11-year-old. "It's quite surreal, a magical feeling to do it in front of the home fans and to win the game, I wanted to do it at this special place and in front of these amazing fans." Kane's moment arrived when City made a mess of trying to play out from the back and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg stole the ball off Rico Lewis on the edge of the area before holding off a challenge and flicking the ball to Kane.

First-half strike by England captain takes him to a record 267 goals for Tottenham and 200 goals in the Premier League.

“Outstanding and composed," Forest manager Steve Cooper said of the three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, who moved from Paris Saint-Germain this week. To do it in front of the home fans is a moment I’ll never forget. “There's still a lot of football to be played,” City defender Kyle Walker said. “There’s been so much talk about it over the last couple of weeks. In the end, Arsenal wasn't punished for losing 1-0 at Everton yesterday — and maybe that's no surprise. Internally, we have belief here.

At the hearing, the panel found most of the breaches alleged were not established or the time was barred, which effectively means they happened too long ago for UEFA to do anything about them. "Allegedly they did not fully disclose the financial remunerations that was made to one of their managers over a four-year period. "The Premier League's financial fair play rules are designed to ensure clubs pretty much spend what they earn. “The proceedings before the commission will, in accordance with Premier League rule W.82, be confidential and heard in private.

Manchester City was accused by the Premier League on Monday of providing misleading information about its finances over a nine-year period when the club was ...

There are no such time limits on the finances under investigation by the Premier League. That case arose on the back of the leaked information, too. The Premier League released a long statement detailing a list of about 80 alleged breaches of its financial rules by City from 2009-18, the first nine full seasons under Abu Dhabi ownership. A large fine seems inevitable if the charges are proven. “As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all.” Roberto Mancini was manager during that period.

The Premier League charges Manchester City with more than 100 breaches of its financial rules following a four-year investigation.

City's reputation - and the reputation of those who own it - is on the line. It is felt that bringing this case it likely to be used by the Premier League as evidence of them being able to deal with governance issues itself. The club are understood to have provided the relevant evidence around those charges to the Premier League some time ago. City were not given advance warning of the Premier League statement. Manchester City have always denied financial wrongdoing. The outcome, whenever it comes, will be fascinating. When the Premier League investigation began, City said the allegations were "entirely false" and that allegations in Der Spiegel came from "illegal hacking and out of context publication of City emails". City are confident in their position and that includes the charges that were time-barred in their Uefa case. In a statement the Premier League said City breached rules requiring them to provide "accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club's financial position". City said they were "surprised" by the charges and are supported by a "body of irrefutable evidence". "Manchester City is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with," the club said in a statement. The Premier League said City breached rules related to Uefa regulations, including Financial Fair Play (FFP), from 2013-14 to 2017-18, as well as Premier League rules on profitability and sustainability from 2015-16 to 2017-18.

The Premier League accused City, one of the most successful teams in soccer, with persistently breaking rules about reporting its revenues, sponsorships and ...

A judge ruled against City, and even chided the process that had allowed City to win multiple league titles as the case dragged on without resolution. The league is one of the world’s richest sporting competitions, and it is populated by a half-dozen more of the world’s most deep-pocketed teams — all of them chasing the same prizes as City every season. But last spring he revealed that he told the club’s management he would quit if what they had told him was found to be untrue. Bankrolled by one of the world’s richest men, the club appeared prepared to spend any sum to prevail. Unlike UEFA, the Premier League does not have a statute of limitations in its disciplinary regulations. No previous Premier League investigation has lasted as long as the current case against City, for example, nor has one produced allegations of wrongdoing spread over so many seasons. The club declared itself “surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches” and said that it had turned over a “vast amount of detailed materials.” Manchester City is accused of more than 100 violations, including failing to provide accurate financial information “that gives a true and fair view of the club’s financial position”; not disclosing contractual payments to managers and players; and failing, as required, to cooperate with Premier League investigators. City has been a leading light over the past decade, with six championships since 2012, including four of the past five. But the City case is already unusual for a number of reasons. In effect, UEFA’s investigation had taken too long to consider the most serious offenses, the appeals panel found, and so the club escaped the harshest punishments levied against it. League officials declined to comment further on the statement or on the case against City.

Manchester City have been charged by the Premier League over breaking financial rules across nine seasons.

The Premier League announced charges this morning. The Premier League rule book — signed off by member clubs like Man City — gives its disciplinary commissions sweeping powers to punish teams if charges are proven. Three CAS judges overturned the ban in July 2020, ruling that some UEFA charges were not proven and other evidence was excluded as time-barred. When UEFA in 2011 began monitoring finances of clubs who qualified for European competition, City had made progress by spending big on players. Known as Financial Fair Play, the regulations are aimed at preventing clubs from spending more than they earn.

Why City must face 'ultimate consequences' as 'absolute crapshow' with PL looms: UK View.

“Football stopped being a fairytale some time ago. “I like to think that if they’re guilty of the things they’ve been charged with, like any other football club, they get the ultimate consequences. What do you think it means.” If they’re found guilty of 10 years’ worth of financial misrepresentation, what do you think that looks like?

Football's richest and most watched club competition challenged its defending champion with more than 100 charges of alleged financial wrongdoing.

The Premier League announced charges on Tuesday. Three CAS judges overturned the ban in July 2020, ruling that some UEFA charged were not proven and other evidence was excluded as time-barred. The Premier League rule book – signed off by member clubs like Man City – gives its disciplinary commissions sweeping powers to punish teams if charges are proven. Thirty more charges relate to Man City’s lack of cooperation in the past five seasons with a Premier League investigation that opened after leaked, and likely hacked, club internal communications were published in 2018. When UEFA in 2011 began monitoring finances of clubs who qualified for European competition, City had made progress by big spending on players. That leaked evidence led UEFA investigators to examine likely breaches of financial rules designed to create stability in an often-volatile European football industry.
