Tottenham Hotspur manager, Thomas Frank, has shed light on how his team stunned Manchester City with a 2-0 victory in Saturday’s Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Goals from Brennan Johnson and João Palhinha sealed the win for Spurs, leaving Pep Guardiola’s men empty-handed at home. The result also keeps Tottenham sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table with six points from their opening two matches.
Omo, imagine City losing back-to-back at their fortress — this one go pain Guardiola fans!
Speaking after the game, Frank admitted that Manchester City were slightly on top during the first half, but once Spurs grabbed the opener, the match tilted in their favor.
“The first 45 minutes were fairly even, with City a bit on top of us. We scored a great goal. Second half I think we were very good,” Frank said in his post-match reaction.
He went on to hail the fighting spirit of his squad, describing their display as nothing short of remarkable:
“I’m proud of my players, the performance. I think it was extraordinary. We know it’s always difficult to play at the Etihad.”
Fans online have been buzzing since the final whistle — some praising Frank’s tactical brilliance, others teasing Guardiola for being “figured out” too early in the season.
Whichever way you see it, Tottenham have sent a strong message with this victory: they’re not just here to compete, they’re here to dominate.
