'We needed to win and we did'
Cole Palmer had the coollest head in north London when he stepped up to score an outrageous Panenka penalty and seal the win.
Palmer scored his second of the game to take his tally for the season to nine for the season - plus six assists.
Speaking after the game, he told Sky Sports: "We knew it was going to be tough so to win is good.
"When I stepped back and looked at the clock I thought it's a bit frantic, the game is all over the place and I thought the keeper was ready to dive so I just chipped it.
"I'm just trying to score and thankfully it went in."
Tough run for Spurs
Ange Postecoglou has his work cut out to boost the confidence in the camp for the busty festive fixtures.
They have some difficult games coming up, hosting league leaders Liverpool to boot.
Spurs need to find that inner-demon they unleashed against Man City if they are going to improve their league position.
Blues with chance to push leaders
Chelsea have a run of fixtures that, on paper, should allow them to pressure the sides around them.
While Maresca continues to play down his side being in a title race, they could be the team Liverpool are looking over their shoulders at.
It has been a while since they have had a happy Christmas at Stamford Bridge.
Tottenham feeling The Blues in North London
It really is a rollercoaster of emotions if you are a Spurs fan.
When they went two-nil up here, they were hoping to give another team a hiding like they did against Man City.
Sadly they folded and allowed Chelsea to punish them.
You could argue the turning point was Caicedo not getting sent off for his high challenge.
