Tottenham beat Manchester City in the match of the 9th round of the English Premier League. Jose Mourinho's wards defeated an opponent with a score of 2: 0 at their stadium.
Already in the 5th minute of the meeting, Tanguy Ndombele brought Son Heung Min to the shock position, and the Korean without hesitation asked the goalkeeper of the “townspeople” Ederson.
After scoring the ball, the London team dropped into defense, allowing the opponent to possess the ball almost all the time. In the middle of the first half, Josep Guardiola's charges took advantage of this - Emeric Laporte shot perfectly into the near corner after a pass from Gabriel Jesus. However, after watching the replay, the goal was canceled - the Brazilian played along with his hand when he received the ball on his chest.
After the break, Jose Mourinho's team continued to contain the opponent's onslaught, playing on counterattacks. One of these quick attacks “spurs” embodied in the goal of Giovanni Lo Celso, who just came on as a substitute. Further attempts of the “townspeople” to at least reduce the gap in the score were in vain.
Incredibly, in the entire match, “Manchester City” struck 22 shots on the opponent's goal (5 on target), and “Spurs” only 4 (2 on target), which did not prevent the hosts from celebrating the victory.
