Spurs came away from the Etihad with a vital point - but how far away are they from the champions?
The arrival of midfielder Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon for a club record £54m sparked understandable excitement among Tottenham fans.
Moussa Sissoko had some rare success down the right in the first half when he flicked it over Ilkay Gundogan's head, but he lacked composure at the final moment, blasting his pass straight into Aymeric Laporte. Kane couldn't hide his frustration. He has proven his worth with the heroics that sent Tottenham to the Champions League final last season, but even when Son Heung-min returns to partner Kane, Spurs' attacking options can't compare to City's.
A group of fans in front of the press box burst out laughing when Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva boxed poor Kyle Walker-Peters into the corner in the first half, giving the full-back little option but to smash it against Bernardo's legs in a frantic attempt to win a throw-in. On the rare occasion Tottenham were able to match City's intensity, creating a press of their own, Ederson coolly lifted it into Bernardo Silva, who flicked it onto Oleksandr Zinchenko and the move ended with a corner to City.
