Pep Guardiola's side were furious in stoppage time, when Grealish scored on goal, but play was stopped for a foul on Erling Haaland in the build-up.
Tottenham played with fire at times and City could have been out of sight before half-time but for the woodwork. But Ange Postecoglou's side remained true to their attacking principles and ended a three-game losing streak despite missing several players due to injuries and suspensions.
The match started in thrilling fashion with Son Heung-Min giving Tottenham the lead in the sixth minute before scoring at the other end three minutes later as a cross bounced off one of his thighs.
Tottenham's obsession with playing the ball out from the back cost them dearly, as they lost possession and City traded passes before Julián Álvarez picked out Phil Foden to head home the 31st minute goal , giving City the advantage.
Alvarez and Jérémy Doku were both denied by the woodwork and Haaland wasted a couple of gilt-edged chances as Tottenham hung on desperately before half-time.
Giovani Lo Celso's pinpoint finish in the 69th minute made it 2-2, but Tottenham's risky approach cost them dear as an error allowed Grealish to put the hosts back in front – only for the visitors to have the last word via Kulusevski's head.
