Man City vs Tottenham highlights
The hosts Manchester City have got off to the worst possible start in their Forest home game of the season against Spurs as they trail 0-2 after the first half of the game. They will have the chance to stage a comeback in the second half but they need their midfield and defence to play much better than they did in the first half.
City started the game in an aggressive manner, putting Spurs’ defenders under pressure, but the visitors fought back hard, winning midfield battles to take the fight to the home side. City’s Marmoush had two perfect goal-scoring chances in the 10th and 28th minute but failed to convert. Meanwhile, Spurs, despite making constant entries into City’s defence, also failed to finish things off.
City suffered an early setback when their defender Ait-Nouri left the field due to discomfort in his ankle just 22 minutes into the game and might have added his name to the long list of City’s injured players.
In the 35th minute, Johnson buried a perfect pass from Richarlison to finally put the visitors ahead. The goal was initially ruled offside but was eventually given after a VAR check. City’s troubles mounted even more when another defensive blunder allowed Palhinha to score the second goal of the night for Spurs in the 45+2 minute as the visitors ended the first half with a 2-0 lead.
