Mourinho Masterclass Sends Spurs Top⠀
--⠀
Goals from Giovanni Lo Celso and Heung Min Son wrapped up all three points in a faultless Tottenham performance.⠀
--⠀
It took just five minutes to open the scoring after a lobbed Tanguy NDombele ball slotted in Heung Min Son who finished comfortably under Ederson.⠀
--⠀
Harry Kane should’ve doubled Tottenham’s lead shortly after, but the England international found himself needlessly offside following a brilliant attacking move.⠀
--⠀
Manchester City would’ve been level if not for the intervention of VAR, as Aymeric Laporte’s goal was ruled out following a Gabriel Jesus handball during the build-up.⠀
--⠀
Despite City dominating the ball and the statistics, a Tottenham counter led by Harry Kane saw Giovanni Lo Celso score with his first touch of the game after being brought on shortly after the hour mark. ⠀
--⠀
Ten corners, 22 shots and 67% possession for City was irrelevant as Tottenham defended excellently and gave the visitors absolutely no room to manoeuvre.⠀
--⠀
A smart, professional and tactically brilliant Spurs side means that Mourinho’s men will deservedly remain top of the league going into Sunday’s fixtures.⠀
--⠀
Tottenham will next host Ludogorets in the Europa League before travelling to Stamford Bridge next weekend.
