Tottenham Hotspur top of the league after 2-0 victory against Manchester City

José Mourinho and Tottenham Hotspur earn a well deserved 2-0 victory over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. In a game where Manchester City dominated possession, the lilywhites were well organized defensively and attacked well on the counter, with Mourinho getting the best over Guardiola once more.

José Mourinho continues to prove his critics wrong and has now managed to bring Spurs at the top of Premier League table. Star duo Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son continue to dominate the league with Son scoring within the first 5 minutes and Kane assisting Giovanni Lo Celso for the second goal. Son adds to his goal tally with 9 goals in 9 games, leading the race for the golden boot. Kane also adds to his assist tally with 9 assists in 9 games, if he continues his form for the remainder season he will be on par to break the assist record of 20 assists in a season that’s held by Thierry Henry, which would definitely rub salt into the wounds of rival Arsenal fans by overtaking their greatest ever player record. Tottenham are now undefeated in their last 8 league games and can start considering themselves title challengers with the way the league is looking this season.

This wasn’t how Pep Guardiola was planning on celebrating his new 2 year deal as Manchester City manager, losing 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Manchester City are now 10th place in the league at the moment, making this Guardiola’s worst ever start to a league season in his entire managerial career. Pep’s starting lineup raised a few eyebrows with star forwards Sergio Agüero and Raheem Sterling left on the bench, with Agüero not even getting any game time. Although his side dominated the match with 66% possession and 22 shots compared to Tottenham’s 4, the citizen’s weren’t able to capitalize on any of their chances except for Aymeric Laporte’s goal in the 27th minute which was ruled out after a Gabriel Jesus handball.

The citizens will now have to focus on bouncing back on their Champions League fixture against Olympiacos where a victory would guarantee qualification to the round of 16. As for Tottenham, they will be looking to rub off their league form into the Europa league on Thursday against Ludogorets Razgrad in a tight group where three of the four teams in the group have 6 points. Their fans are desperate for any type of silverware and Mourinho will be looking towards winning this European competition to end their 12 year trophy drought.
