Coming at the back of three consecutive defeats, Tottenham pulled a surprise at Etihad, fighting hard to share the spoils with the Premier League champions.
Kulusevski starred for the away side nailing a stoppage-time goal to pegged back Man City to a 3-3 draw.
Pep Guardiola hails Ange Postecoglou tactical approach
Away from the scoreline, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur was a vintage game with two best attacking football teams.
The two sides thrilled football fans with the best of attacking football where defenders switched to attacking midfielders with ease and stock up high up the halfway line.
In a quote shared by Sky Sport, Pep Guardiola had spoken high of Ange Postecoglou's style of play, admitting his immense respect for the Aussie bloke.
Guardiola said;
"I'm not the only manager who was born to play a high line. It belongs absolutely to him.
"I would say sometimes I ask my full backs to go back but his full backs go to the pockets. They are attacking midfielders so I have not seen that before.
"So I have not used that. It belongs absolutely to him and is a question for him anyway."
Ange Postecoglou has been known for his expressly attacking style of play throughout his managerial spell.
Postecoglou's style of play came under deep scrutiny after Tottenham suffered a big defeat to Chelsea. While the Aussie had the game perfectly in hands early, the team lost their balance when Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie were sent off.
The situation worsened for Spurs with James Maddison limping off with an injury. Despite the triple blow to the squad during the game, Ange Postecoglou still had his defenders high up there on the halfway line and it was a matter of time before Chelsea easily took advantage and score four.
Reacting after the match, Postecoglou demonstrated his belligerence insisting he would not change his attacking style of play despite playing 9 men against Chelsea.
Despite the recent setback, it is believed Ange Postecoglou is the right man for Tottenham Hotspur and it is just a matter of time before the Aussie will return the Lilywhites to the elite clique in the Premier League, challenging for a top four finish and the Premier League title.
