Premier League champions Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur played out a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Etihad on Sunday evening.
Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson Moraes, Jeremy Doku and Julian Alvarez were fitted back into the Citizens team that managed a come-from-behind victory over RB Leipzig, as Spurs welcomed back Yves Bissouma from suspension.
Spurs enjoyed a strong opening six minutes and pulled ahead as captain Heung Min-Son sneaked behind Doku to turn in Dejan Kulusevski's reverse pass.
The skipper turned from hero to villain in no less than three minutes when a surging attempt from Emerson Royal bounced off the Korean's thigh and into the net.
However, City could've taken the lead a few minutes gone from a clear effort in the area by Erling Haaland after Silva's square delivery but he snapped wide.
City did hit the front just past the half-hour mark when a pattern of passes involving Haaland, Doku, Julian Alvarez ended up with Phil Foden who stepped in to make no mistake.
Alvarez aimed to launch a solo finish from a sliding ball in by Manuel Akanji, but he was denied by the post following a lofted shot.
Spurs unleashed the first alteration of the contest just ahead of the break as Bryan Gil was sacrificed for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The Citizens were immediately on the attack seconds from the resumption and worked a guilt-edge tip from Guglielmo Vicario off Bernardo Silva's first-time strike.
Pep Guardiola's men surrendered the lead within the closing quarter after Giovani Lo Celso swerved his way around the area to fire in off the post.
City rallied back ten minutes to full-time and hit the front again when Haaland dropped to the shoulder of the area to cutback for Jack Grealish to tap in.
The visitors grabbed a point in the last minute when Kulusevski towered above Nathan Ake in the box to nod in off the underside of the crossbar.
It looked pretty tense before the end with the both sides all out on the attack, but it finished all square in the end.
