DEJAN KULUSEVSKI loves playing against Manchester City, claiming he takes it "personally" whenever he locks horns with Pep Guardiola's champions.
The Swede grabbed two assists in Tottenham's gutsy 2-1 Carabao Cup triumph on Wednesday night to set up a quarter-final clash with Manchester United.
And the 24-year-old attacker, thriving as a central playmaker under Ange Postecoglou, has registered more goal contributions - three goals and four assists - against City than any other opponent in Guardiola's tenure.
He said: "I knew I had to do something important as it's an amazing game to play against this team.
"I take it personally to play against City. I promised myself that I was going to have a good game and I think I did."
