Hard blow for Manchester City In his attempt to recover lost trust: in the first game of the season at home he lost 2-0 against Tottenhamwhile the Arsenal He thrashed 5-0 al LEEDS and it provisionally leads.
After the 4-0 win during his visit to the Wolverhampton on the first day and in the first game of the season at Etihad Stadium, the City repeated the mistakes of last season: little offensive glued and back mistakes that cost goals.
This happened in the first part, where after a quite poor half hour of play and the lesion of the side Rayan Aït-Nouri, one of the signings of the start of the course market, the Spurs took advantage of two errors of the local defense to place ahead on the scoreboard.
First was the Brazilian Richarlison, who exceeded the local defenders, and his center was topped to the red by Brennan Johnson (minute 35).
Goalkeeper James Trafford, who was starting again to the detriment of Brazilian Ederson, mortgaged the chances of his team just before the break, when the Spurs recovered the ball after a bad exit and the Portuguese Joao Palhinha scored the second goal (45+2).
“We have failed in simple things with the ball. Of course we have to improve, but I already said after (playing) the Wolves,” Guardiola admitted.
The entry into the second part of men like Bernardo Silva, Jérémy Doku, Phil Foden or Rodri did not change the dynamics of the party, with a dominating City, but without taking danger to the goal of the Italian Guglielmo Vicario.
Unlike the City, everything smiles for now in the Premier League to Tottenham by Danish coach Thomas Frank, who after debuting a week ago in the championship with a clear victory against Burnley (3-0), adds a second win that places him in the first place of the provisional classification.
“The mentality is the key. We have to have this mentality to win games like this,” Frank congratulated.
Gyökeres already delight to Emirates
In London, Arsenal won 5-0 to the ascended Leeds, thus confirming the good feelings of last Sunday, when he had won 1-0 in Old Trafford to Manchester United.
The Dutch Jurrien Timber (34 and 56) and the Swedish Viktor Gyökeres (48, 90+5) signed two doubles, while the other goal of the Gunners in his Emirates Stadium was the work of Bukayo Saka (45+1).
Gyökeres wrote his first two goals in the Premier League, which he reaches in a millionaire transfer from the Sporting of Lisbon, with which he dazzled last season.
Arsenal also announced this Saturday, before his game of the day, the signing of the English offensive steering wheel Eberrechi Eze, until now at the Crystal Palace and with which he hopes to complete a fearsome squad to end more than two decades without being champion of England.
