Tottenham secured a 2-0 victory at Manchester City's Etihad through Brennan Johnson’s 35th-minute tap-in and a goal from Joao Palhinha seconds before half-time. Spurs absorbed early pressure, executed a free-flowing attack for the opener, and capitalized on a James Trafford error for the second. Thomas Frank's side defended resolutely and disrupted Manchester City's attacking rhythm. Pep Guardiola introduced multiple second-half changes but City lacked fluidity and cutting edge in the final third. Tottenham continued a confident start under Frank after earlier season wins and a notable previous 4-0 Etihad result.
Laying down what was a real heavyweight marker on Saturday lunchtime, Tottenham secured what was a deserved 2-0 victory away at Manchester City. Storming their way to an iconic 4-0 Premier League romp when they last travelled to the Etihad back in November, new boss Thomas Frank saw his side produce another sensational performance in the blue half of Manchester.
Soaking up some early pressure, it was Brennan Johnson who opened the scoring in the 35th-minute as the Wales international tapped home at the far post and completed a free-flowing attack. Things got even better for Tottenham just seconds before the half-time break as Spurs pounced on James Trafford's loose pass inside his own box before summer recruit Joao Palhinha smashed home.
