Tottenham Hotspur delighted fans at the Etihad Stadium with a stunning 2-0 victory over Manchester City. In this Premier League season opener, stellar performance from the likes of Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha set the stage for an astounding and perfect start to this season, as the Spurs are yet to concede with two wins in two games.
Under new manager Thomas Frank, the team is well on its way to a great season. This defeat exposed weaknesses in Pep Guardiola’s side, mostly errors from the goalkeeper James Trafford.
Dazzling performances from other players like Cristian Romero and Pape Matar Sarr were highlighted as social media erupted with several reactions praising Tottenham’s dominance throughout the game while mocking City’s rare defeat at home..
With City gearing up for an away visit to the American Express Community Stadium on Sunday, their manager Pep is convinced there is much improvement to be made on his team although they are working as a team. He believes with little steps the team will make better connections and results in the future.
However, City’s fans are bitter over the shameful defeat at Etihad. While some are hopeful that they will bounce back against Brighton on Sunday, others express optimism and enthusiasm and cannot wait to see how the current team shapes up with new and young players coming in.
Speaking on the game, Italian former association football manager Fabio Capello described Guardiola as “a great coach who is far too arrogant and presumptuous; hence, he sometimes even lost trophies because he wanted to prove that he was the one winning games and not the players, so he dropped key figures from the side in the big games.”
Joao Palhinha, who got his first goal in a Spurs shirt, has praised the mentality of the team, saying he is motivated as Tottenham faces Bournemouth at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next weekend.
