Iconic imagery | Manchester City in N17

On Wednesday, Manchester City return to north London with us set to lock horns with Pep Guardiola's side once again.

So, ahead of the Citizens return to north London, lets take a trip down memory lane for some moments of nostalgia from Man City's trips to face us...

September, 1913

One of our first ever meetings with City was captured on film back in September, 1913.

We ran out 3-1 winner that day at White Hart Lane with Jimmy Cantrell (207) and Billy Minter (158) on target for us.

August, 1990

December, 2007

A fresh-faced Gareth Bale sits alongside our substitutes to cheer on his team-mates to a 2-1 win over Manchester City at White Hart Lane in December, 2007.

Just days before, the full-back-turned-forward suffered a season-ending ligament injury in a home defeat to Birmingham City.

The late Sven Goran Eriksson was City's manager that day. That was his penultimate visit to White Hart Lane.

November, 2009

In a huge victory for us in the 2009/10 season in respect of our battle to seal Champions League qualification for the first time, two men to have worn the colours of both teams - Emmanuel Adebayor and Vedran Corluka - battle to win the ball in the air at the Lane.

They are just two of six players to have played for both us and Manchester City in the Premier League era.

We went on to run out 3-0 winners in N17 that night and ultimately pipped City to that 'Champions League' post come the May, famously defeating them 1-0 at the Etihad to cement our place in European Football's Elite Club competition.

August, 2010

After we famously edged City in that race for the Champions League, fate would have it that we were to meet immediately at the start of the next season.

And, despite a fiercely contested bout in N17, the sides could not be separated as we had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

September, 2015

Referee and players alike managed to get out the way of an Eric Dier piledriver as our former defender got us back on terms from range to kickstart our comeback win over the Citizens at the start of the 2015/16 season.

Kevin de Bruyne had given City the lead at the Lane but goals from Eric, Toby Alderweireld, Harry Kane and Erik Lamela saw us ultimately storm to a 4-1 win in N17.

October, 2016

In it's final season, fans pack inside the slowly-changing Lane to see us defeat Manchester City 2-0.

On a glorious day in north autumnal day in north London, an own goal plus a strike from Dele saw us come out on top as Pep Guardiola made his first visit to N17.

April, 2019

Ahead of the first-ever Champions League game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, our former defender Kazuyuki Toda is pictured pitchside.

The Japan international played for us in 2003, made his debut for us against City and is Legacy Number 674.

That night saw the first-ever tifo display at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And a stunning solo effort from Heung-Min Son which saw us take a 1-0 lead to the Etihad Stadium for the second leg of our quarter-final bout with Manchester City.

February, 2020

A goal in N17 that few will forget is Steven Bergwijn's stunning debut strike against Manchester City.

Just days after he completed his move from PSV Eindhoven to north London, the forward produced a superb volley to give us the lead against the Citizens before Sonny later grabbed another goal against Guardiola's men.

February, 2023

Two years later and we went from a stunning goal to an historic goal as, in another home win over Manchester City in the Premier League, Harry Kane became our greatest-ever goalscorer.

Having levelled the long-standing Club record held by the great Jimmy earlier that week in a 1-0 win over Fulham, the boy from the Academy turned world-class centre-forward guided home his 267th goal for Spurs against the Citizens.
