Man City

Harry Kane shot himself into the record books as Tottenham's all-time leading goalscorer to rekindle his side's top four hopes and simultaneously dent ...

And how he celebrated – treating the home crowd to more than one of his trademark jumps and fist pumps. The Belgium's instant impact was to win a free-kick from Eric Dier. Tottenham had been warned. Kane gave their side a 15th minute lead. City kept up the pressure after the break but it was a flashing Ben Davies header from an Ivan Perisic corner that came closest to ending up in the back of the net. His historic strike owed a lot to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's interception, surge to the edge of the area and dispensing a pass on to the England captain's toes.

HARRY KANE became Tottenham's all-time record scorer as his 267th goal for the club sealed a 1-0 win against Manchester City that severely damaged the ...

Sprinting away to soak up the acclaim, Kane waved towards his family, who were sitting below a scoreboard emblazoned with the message “Congratulations Harry” alongside pictures of him celebrating previous goals for the club. Hojbjerg slipped his pass to Kane and, with immortality in his sights, the striker guided a slightly scuffed low shot past Ederson with typical efficiency. For Kane to be alongside such a legendary player is a tribute to his predatory instincts and his perseverance. A member of England’s 1966 World Cup-winning squad, who netted 44 times for his country, Greaves is the highest scorer in English top-flight history with 357 goals. HARRY KANE became Tottenham’s all-time record scorer as his 267th goal for the club sealed a 1-0 win against Manchester City that severely damaged the champions’ bid to retain the Premier League title. Passing Greaves had become increasingly inevitable for the prolific Kane, although ironically City could have ended his record chase if they had been successful in their attempt to sign him in 2021.

Tottenham beat Manchester City 1-0 on Super Sunday thanks to Harry Kanes goal; Gary Neville said on Sky Sports commentary duty City are not as strong as ...

"The amount of times they got counter-attacked on today, the amount of times they got broken through, the amount of space they gave up in midfield - that doesn't happen. "It's not the Manchester City of old." "When they lose it they win it back quickly and keep team pinned back. There have been times when I've watched his teams lose and think: "that's a Pep Guardiola performance". And I've said it a couple of times since," said Neville. "Arsenal fans have been up in arms about that thinking I'm not giving them respect.

The striker broke Jimmy Greaves' Spurs record that had stood since 1970.

Despite plenty of City possession, it was Tottenham who held firm to move within a point of the top four and do rivals Arsenal a favour in the title race. Tottenham assistant Cristian Stellini was attempting to match the animated presence of the absence Conte on the touchline but saw his side enjoy a slice of luck before the break. It moved Kane past Greaves as the club’s all-time leading scorer with 267 goals for Spurs and saw jubilant celebrations both on and off the pitch with the screens inside the stadium acknowledging his achievement before the forward waved to his family in the West Stand.

Manchester City charged by Premier League with numerous alleged breaches of financial rules; Premier League has referred the case to an independent ...

At the hearing, the panel found most of the breaches alleged were not established or the time was barred, which effectively means they happened too long ago for UEFA to do anything about them. "Allegedly they did not fully disclose the financial remunerations that was made to one of their managers over a four-year period. "The Premier League's financial fair play rules are designed to ensure clubs pretty much spend what they earn. “The proceedings before the commission will, in accordance with Premier League rule W.82, be confidential and heard in private. "They took that case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). This investigation has already been going on for five years, so I don't anticipate it being dealt with quickly. “Commissions are independent of the Premier League and member clubs. “This confirmation is made in accordance with Premier League rule W.82.1. In February 2020, they were banned by UEFA from European competition for two seasons and also fined €30m. In a statement, the Premier League said: “In accordance with Premier League rule W.82.1, the Premier League confirms that it has today [February 6 2023] referred a number of alleged breaches of the Premier League rules by Manchester City Football Club to a commission under Premier League rule W.3.4. The second set of breaches listed refers to alleged breaking of rules "requiring a member club to include full details of manager remuneration in its relevant contracts with its manager" related to seasons 2009-10 to 2012-13 inclusive. The club are alleged to have breached league rules requiring provision "in utmost good faith" of "accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club's financial position".

The Premier League accused City, one of the most successful teams in soccer, with persistently breaking rules about reporting its revenues, sponsorships and ...

A judge ruled against City, and even chided the process that had allowed City to win multiple league titles as the case dragged on without resolution. The league is one of the world’s richest sporting competitions, and it is populated by a half-dozen more of the world’s most deep-pocketed teams — all of them chasing the same prizes as City every season. But last spring he revealed that he told the club’s management he would quit if what they had told him was found to be untrue. Bankrolled by one of the world’s richest men, the club appeared prepared to spend any sum to prevail. Unlike UEFA, the Premier League does not have a statute of limitations in its disciplinary regulations. No previous Premier League investigation has lasted as long as the current case against City, for example, nor has one produced allegations of wrongdoing spread over so many seasons. The club declared itself “surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches” and said that it had turned over a “vast amount of detailed materials.” Manchester City is accused of more than 100 violations, including failing to provide accurate financial information “that gives a true and fair view of the club’s financial position”; not disclosing contractual payments to managers and players; and failing, as required, to cooperate with Premier League investigators. City has been a leading light over the past decade, with six championships since 2012, including four of the past five. But the City case is already unusual for a number of reasons. In effect, UEFA’s investigation had taken too long to consider the most serious offenses, the appeals panel found, and so the club escaped the harshest punishments levied against it. League officials declined to comment further on the statement or on the case against City.

Manchester City FC is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast ...

Manchester City have been referred to an independent commission by the Premier League over alleged breaches of its financial rules.

Under Premier League Rule W.82.2, the Commission's final award will be published on the Premier League's website. "This confirmation is made in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1. The panel also has access to consult other independent financial and legal experts. City have previously vigorously fought and denied charges relating to alleged breaches of UEFA FFP rules. The club also said they held "irrefutable evidence" in support of their position. The Premier League issued a statement on its website announcing the club - who have won the competition six times since 2011 - had been referred to an independent commission in respect of a series of alleged breaches of rules related to club finances.

Man City have released their first statement since the news that they are to be charged by the Premier League for 'numerous breaches' of financial rules.

"The proceedings before the Commission will, in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82, be confidential and heard in private. "This confirmation is made in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1. "Commissions are independent of the Premier League and member clubs. The Premier League will be making no further comment in respect of this matter until further notice." The members of the Commission will be appointed by the independent Chair of the Premier League Judicial Panel, in accordance with Premier League Rules W.19, W.20 and W.26. In a statement, they said: "In accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1, the Premier League confirms that it has today referred a number of alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules by Manchester City Football Club (Club) to a Commission under Premier League Rule W.3.4.
