Tottenham beat Man City, Romero shines in strong Premier League start | OneFootball

Manchester City fell to Tottenham 2-0 on matchday 2 of the Premier League. Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha were the scorers, Richarlison assisted on both.

In a packed Etihad Stadium, Thomas Frank's team imposed conditions on Pep Guardiola's team and took a great win as visitors.

Despite controlling possession of the ball, they were not clear in the final stretches of the field and missed the opportunities they had.

The one that hit the three posts, Guglielmo Vicario took care of neutralizing the danger.

When 35 minutes were being played, Richarlison made a good play on the right and assisted Johnson for the 1-0.

It seemed that they would go to halftime with that result, but a gross error by goalkeeper James Trafford culminated in Palhinha's goal for the 2-0.

At the start of the second half, Guardiola made no changes, but ten minutes passed and he sent Bernardo Silva and Doku onto the field.

The entry of both made the team change its face and gain much more weight in attack, but the Citizens continued to fail in the final touch.

The key to the match was how compact Tottenham was on the field, winning many duels and standing out, above the rest, the defensive solidity shown by the team with Cuti Romero as a standard-bearer.

This victory solidifies the good start to the season for the Spurs and winning in their two presentations in the Premier League.
