Tottenham beat Man City, boost 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 goal scorers, with Richarlison assisting on both.

In a packed Etihad Stadium, it was Thomas Frank's side who imposed their will against Pep Guardiola's team and secured a great victory as visitors.

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

Any that did hit the target, Guglielmo Vicario was there to defuse the danger.

At the 35-minute mark, Richarlison made a good play on the right and assisted Johnson for the 1-0.

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

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

The introduction of both changed the face of the team and gave them 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 all over the pitch, winning many duels and standing out, above all, was the defensive solidity shown by the team with Cuti Romero as the standard-bearer.

This victory strengthens the good start to the season for the Spurs, winning in their two Premier League appearances.
