José Mourinho and his Tottenham had a good scalp against Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City.
First, the Heung-Min Son City defense ran in rags and made it 1-0, while substitute Giovani Lo Celso needed no more than 35 seconds on the field to double the lead.
Thus, the London team takes a new victory, and is currently heading straight for the top of the Premier League with its 20 points.
– We head the table, but I don’t get carried away. In my career as a Tottenham player, I know how difficult it is to win the Premier League. We have been close a few times. Now we just have to move on, Tottenham captain Harry Kane said in an interview with Sky Sports.
Punished city
Heung-Min Son gave the hosts the lead after just four minutes, with his ninth goal of the season. Tanguy Ndombele looked up and made a silky pass to the Korean, only with Ederson he was frozen and put the ball between the legs in the last City defense.
– It’s so brilliant from Son. It’s so toxic, it has such good timing and such a high top speed. Plus, Ndombele’s pass is fantastic, says TV 2 soccer expert Brede Hangeland in the studio.
After 64 minutes, Tottenham’s José Mourinho fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. In his place came Giovani Lo Celso, who joined the game without being able to warm up. It should turn out to be a stroke of genius.

The Argentine midfielder does not take more than a minute to double Tottenham’s advantage. Harry Kane unleashed a deflected effort from the right that the visiting goalkeeper did well to deflect. There, the substitute used two touches before making it 2-0.
This was also Harry Kane’s ninth scorer of the season. That’s more than the 27-year-old has had in the league in his last three seasons. So it has reached a maximum of eight.
Canceled city score
The visitors thought they tied at 26 minutes. Aymeric Laporte spiked the ball into the net. But before the goal, Gabriel Jesús cushioned the ball with his arm, before making it easy for the Frenchman. Judge Mike Dean decided to drop the case after looking at the VAR screen.
TV 2 experts react to Mike Dean’s handling of the situation, who only took 20 seconds to assess the incident on screen.
– My first thought was that they were hands, but when I look at the situation again, it can seem like it hits the stomach. It’s an incredibly strange decision, Hangeland says.
– It’s good that Dean is so sure they’re hands. I cannot understand that he is so clear that what he sees are hands. You can’t be so sure, says TV 2 soccer expert Erik Thorstvedt.
Tottenham now leads the table with 20 points, while Manchester City is in 10th place with twelve points.
