Tottenham stun defending champion Man City in season opener
Defending champions Manchester City lost their first game of English Premier League City started the league with a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday night. Heung Min-Son scored the decisive goal to help Tottenham win at home. Son scored in the 55th minute of the game.
With this victory, Tottenham has added 3 important points in the first game. Tottenham made light of the absence of unsettled Harry Kane to start the Premier League season with a win over champions Manchester City and their £100m man Jack Grealish.
Kane – heavily linked with a move to Manchester City – sat out this pulsating encounter but Pep Guardiola wasted no time in throwing in his British record signing from Aston Villa. Grealish had a quiet debut, being shown a yellow card late on, and it was actually Spurs who had the best opportunity after Son’s goal, only for Steven Bergwijn to shoot wide when clean through.
City’s lack of punch, with the great Sergio Aguero now gone, may just have prompted Guardiola to look even further into the acquisition of Kane, especially as Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have already given notice that there will be very little margin for error in the title race this season.
