After the opening victory in Wolverhampton, Manchester City wanted to add to Tottenham. But nothing came of it.
Manchester City lost the first home game in the Premier League season. At the Etihad Stadium, the team of coach Pep Guardiola lost 0-2 on Saturday Tottenham Hotspur.
A loan from FC Bayern brought the preliminary decision in favor of the Londoners shortly before the break. João Palhinha used a serious mistake by goalkeeper James Trafford and scored 2-0 (45.+2) in added time in the first half. Trafford had played the ball under pressure directly into the feet of Pape Sarr. The ball came to Palhinha via detours. Already in the 35th minute, Brennan Johnson surprisingly put the Spurs in the lead.
The hosts had previously checked the game – and gave the great chance to take the lead. Omar Marmoush failed in the 28th minute free -standing on Tottenham’s goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. As a result, the home team lacked the punch.
Due to the victory, Tottenham celebrated a perfect start of the league with six points from the first two games. Thomas Frank’s eleven climbs to the top of the table for the time being.
National striker Niclas Füllkrug already had a disappointing evening on Friday: with West Ham United, he was defeated by Chelsea in the London derby with 1: 5 (1: 3). Fill jug was replaced at half -time.
Defending champion FC Liverpool intervenes on Monday at Newcastle United. The “Reds” could take a win with Tottenham.
