Tottenham Hotspur, under new manager Thomas Frank, have managed to secure their second win against Man City at Etihad Stadium, as Johnson shines with an outstanding performance.
Spurs came here last season in November at Etihad Stadium; Spurs humiliated them with 4-0 and managed to secure all three points courtesy of a resolute defensive display.
They started slowly as Omar Marmoush latched onto Pedro Porro’s loose header and squeezed a shot narrowly wide of the far post before seeing a thunderous strike from range pushed away by Guglielmo Vicario.

Furthermore, the Egyptian was lively early on and forced another excellent save from the Spurs goalkeeper after being played through by Erling Haaland.
With their first real threat of the game, Spurs took the lead courtesy of a lightning breakaway as Richarlison’s low cross was converted by Brennan Johnson.
The goal was initially ruled out for offside but overturned following a review by the video assistant referee.
With seven minutes added on in the first half because of an injury to City left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, Spurs doubled their lead through Joao Palhinha smashing in after a loose pass from James Trafford inside his own area.
It capped a difficult few minutes for the City keeper, who could have been dismissed for a collision on the edge of the box with Mohammed Kudus.
Haaland should have pulled one back before the break but headed over from close range, and the home side were left frustrated in the second period as Tottenham made it consecutive clean sheets so far this season.
In conclusion, we hope to see a different Man City, as they will be playing Brighton on 30 August at 4pm (East African Time).
