Hotspurs vs Man City as Mourinho steals the show at white Hart Lane

Iexclusive News Nigeria reports that Tottenham Hotspur really were at their best yesterday evening at their Tottenham stadium as they carried on their impressive start to the 2020/21 campaign.

Fresh from winning their last three games in the Premier League, Jose Mourinho’s men faced a daunting clash against Manchester City to stake their claim as tittle contenders.

Games against Pep Guardiola’s team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have been very kind to Spurs recently and they made it count after a hat-trick of wins as they registered three points against the Carabao Cup holders.

The 2019 Premier League champions may have endured a bit of a mixed start to the season but form goes out of the window with both teams coming into the fixture after two weeks without a league match.

This online news medium also gathered that there were some controversies regarding the center referees decision on ruling out Man city’s goal after adjudging a player handling the ball before the goal was scored .

In the usual battle of wits between Jose Mourinho and his old adversary Pep Guardiola, the Spurs manager came out on top as his team’s season gathered further momentum.

Son Heung-min put Spurs in front after five minutes, finishing coolly from Tanguy Ndombele’s pass before Manchester City had a first-half goal ruled out by VAR for a handball by Gabriel Jesus after Aymeric Laporte’s finish.

City continued to enjoy greater possession but Spurs, as you would expect from a Mourinho side, were fiercely drilled and resilient, taking their chance when it came to double their advantage and finish the game.

It came in the 65th minute after a dream substitution from Mourinho, Giovani lo Celso beating Ederson with a low finish from another Kane pass 35 seconds after coming on for Tanguy Ndombele – the only cloud for Spurs would be coming with a late injury to Toby Alderweireld after an outstanding performance.

Mourinho was a bundle of energy in his technical area as Spurs took all Manchester City could throw at them to come out with the win that puts them at the Premier League summit and also made a powerful statement about their ambitions and aspirations.

The words of José Mourinho after his team had defeated Man City’s fierce attack 2 -0.

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho told BBC Sport: “It feels good [to be top], but maybe tomorrow we are second again and honestly that would not be a problem for me, I am just happy with the evolution.

“People cannot expect us to come here and after one season we are fighting for the title. We are not fighting for the title, we are just fighting to win every match. But we are going to lose matches, we are going to draw matches.
