(Tottenham 2-0 Manchester City) Son Heung-min and Harry Kane were once again key players for Spurs, who countered Manchester City in the London crash.
Pep Guardiola’s men got off to the worst possible start when Son Heung-min arrived alone with Ederson and rolled the ball between the Brazilian’s legs.
From there it was uphill for the Manchester light blues, who wore black for the occasion.
– Mourinho’s tactical elimination against his old enemy, Brede Hangeland thought in the TV 2 studio.
José Mourinho’s team has been tremendously efficient when given room to race earlier this season.
“Sometimes strategy means a very important role,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.
– We had a plan to defend ourselves as a team, says Harry Kane on the same channel.
While Tanguy Ndombélé served first, it was Tottenham’s new coach who was behind second.

Harry Kane has been best known for scoring goals himself, but against Manchester City he scored his ninth pass on goal in the Premier League this season.
The scorer was substitute Giovani Lo Celso, who only took 35 seconds and two touches of the game began until the ball rolled into the goal behind Ederson.
Before that, Manchester City had a ball in goal, but Aymeric Laporter’s goal was disallowed because referee Mike Dean thought Gabriel Jesus drove up front.
– I no longer understand the rules, says Kevin de Bruyne frustrated to Sky Sports after the game.
Tottenham thus leads the Premier League with 20 points from nine games, while Manchester City stands with 12 points from eight games.
This is Pep Guardiola’s weakest start to the season in his career as a coach:

The Spaniard recently extended his contract with Manchester City for two years, until the summer of 2023.
It is also the first time that José Mourinho has won two games in a row against Pep Guardiola.
The victory was his seventh against the Spanish. Only Jürgen Klopp has more wins against Guardiola.
