Timo Werner’s long-awaited return to form helped Tottenham secure a 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, knocking the defending champions out of the tournament.

Werner opened the scoring just five minutes in, firing home from 14 yards after a well-placed cross from Dejan Kulusevski.

Pape Sarr doubled Spurs’ lead in the 25th minute with a stunning curled shot from 25 yards.

City responded just before halftime with a goal from Matheus Nunes, who side-footed in from close range after a cross from Savinho.

Despite the momentum shift, Tottenham held their ground after Pep Guardiola opted not to bring on Erling Haaland.

The match was marred by injuries, with Spurs losing Micky van de Ven to a hamstring issue and City’s Savinho stretchered off after a collision.

Guardiola introduced Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic at halftime in a bid to regain control.

Tottenham had opportunities to extend their lead, with Johnson and Werner both testing City’s goalkeeper, Stefan Ortega.

Late in the match, City pushed hard for an equalizer, but a crucial defensive play by Yves Bissouma kept the hosts ahead.
