Manchester City were handed a 2-0 defeat at home by Tottenham Hotspur in a surprising Premier League result. The visitors scored twice in the first half, sealing an important win and continuing their strong start to the season.
Tottenham opened the scoring through Brennan Johnson just before halftime. Minutes later, João Palhinha doubled the lead after capitalizing on a rare mistake by the City goalkeeper. Manchester City had more possession and created chances but failed to find the net.
City’s attacking players struggled to break through Tottenham’s well-organized defense. Spurs defended deep and struck effectively on the counter, showing calm and discipline throughout the match.
This result is a setback for Manchester City, especially considering their usually strong home record. It also raises early concerns about the team’s form, particularly in front of goal. With the title race expected to be tight, dropped points at home could prove costly later in the season.
Pep Guardiola’s side will now look to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures. Adjustments may be needed both defensively and in the final third. Although it’s still early in the season, City’s fans will expect a quick reaction.
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s performance will boost their confidence and strengthen their push for a top-four finish. They were sharp, clinical, and tactically solid.
Manchester City must now regroup quickly as the Premier League schedule continues to intensify.
