Disclosing details of the bet, Sport Witness claimed that the Spanish left-back won the bet after he had claimed that Spurs would beat Man City in the Premier League. Notably, Reguilon managed to get the better of Riyad Mahrez, with the Algerian winger having a quiet outing.
The Man City winger was eventually replaced by Raheem Sterling, with Sergio Reguilon holding his own against the English winger as well. The Tottenham vs Man City result meant that Spurs finished a matchday at the top of the Premier League standings after nine games for the first time since 1985.
