City played well for fifteen minutes. Didn't get a goal but played the rest of the match like they were 2-0 up.

Spurs did well to pick their moments. However, Mendy is an abject defender. Ake inspires no confidence either.

Spurs celebrating like they've won the league. :lol:
It’s a massive win, in front of their home fans for first time in 15 months, first game under a new manager with loads of doubts going into the season

I can't stand Nuno teams, but I'm delighted it's worked for him today. Seems a good bloke.

Impressive from Spurs, might've caught City before they really get up and running but can't fault the effort, organisation and execution of the game plan.
Might? They totally did. Catching City with no Kane, no Stones/Walker/De Bruyne/Foden, and with Grealish still settling in.

Can someone get the distance covered by Spurs today? Won't be surprised if it is a prem record.

City with two thirds of possession but totally toothless.

They were pretty rubbish first 13 games last season too though, it's a marathon not a sprint etc

Good refereeing as well. Made that game look like the English game of the early 2000s.

That’s how they started last season. I’m not sure they’ll be able to get away with being so casual this season.

City players were shocked, because suddenly they are playing in front of crowds and fans who make noise. That resulted in 3 games lost and 3 games without scoring.
