Tottenham's Hugo Lloris, Heung-min Son set stage for Spurs in massive blown chance at Man City

A 4-2 defeat to Manchester City cast a harsh light on two key Spurs veterans
At least Tottenham did not do Arsenal any favors in the title race. Every cloud and all that. But the silver lining is rather a sliver for Spurs and Antonio Conte, who cannot even rely on their annual smash and grab at the Etihad for three points this season.
It was there for the taking. In the first half City turned off the alarms and opened the front door for Spurs to storm through on the counter. Ederson took it upon himself to usher Dejan Kulsevski into the heart of the penalty area. No wonder the Etihad greeted the half time whistle with boos.
Yet Tottenham's response to being in the ascendancy was the stuff of "Spursy" cliches, the sort of collapse that Antonio Conte was appointed to root out. At both ends of the pitch, key players hampered the cause, Hugo Lloris expanding his repertoire of errors as Heung-min Son offered further indications that this is no wobble, that the 30-year-old has entered his decline.
