Goals from Erling Haaland and Riyad Mahrez secured the victory for Pep Guardiola's side.
Haaland opened the scoring early in the first half with a clinical finish from Kevin De Bruyne's cross. Mahrez doubled the lead just before halftime with a stunning free-kick that left Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris rooted to the spot.
**Tottenham's Struggles Continue**
Tottenham struggled to create many chances throughout the match. Despite having the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, and Richarlison in their lineup, Antonio Conte's team failed to test Ederson in the Manchester City goal.
This result leaves Tottenham in fifth place, five points behind Manchester City. Conte will be hoping for a quick turnaround in form as his team prepares for an important Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon midweek.

Manchester City's victory further strengthens their grip on the Premier League title. They now have a four-point lead over Manchester United, who won their match against Arsenal earlier in the day.
With just 10 matches remaining in the season, Manchester City is in pole position to capture their fourth title in five years. Pep Guardiola's team will face a stern test next Saturday when they travel to face Aston Villa, who have won their last four matches.
The Premier League title race is far from over, but Manchester City has taken a significant step towards securing another trophy. The eyes of the football world will be on them as they continue their quest for glory.
