A GREAT HAAL

Erling hits his 20th league goal of season to sink sleepy Spurs

ERLING HAALAND already has as many Golden Boots as Cinderella has glass slippers.

But as Manchester City's goal machine scored for the 20th time in the Premier League this season, he looked in the mood for another pair of designer footwear and all cobblers' leave was cancelled in English football's heartlands.

In a curate's egg of a contrast, City should have been home and hosed by the interval but ended up hanging on grimly to move within a point of third-place Nottingham Forest.

In all competitions, Tottenham have beaten City more than any other club at their new stadium, winning six of their previous eight meetings there.
