Tottenham had experienced a bruising week because of a failed pursuit of winger Eberechi Eze, with the Crystal Palace player agreeing terms with Spurs' bitter rivals Arsenal instead. The travelling supporters made their feelings known towards chairman Daniel Levy from the first whistle with loud chants of "we want Levy out" echoing around the stadium, though they were replaced by "we love you Tottenham" by full-time. The players who do wear the Spurs shirt responded with another tremendous showing at City's ground, collecting their third victory in their last five visits.

The players who do wear the Spurs shirt responded with another tremendous showing at City's ground, collecting their third victory in their last five visits.
Frank's side beat Burnley convincingly in their opening game and rode their luck as City missed opportunities, but they took full advantage when chances fell their way at the other end.
City were holding a high line and were made to pay as John Stones narrowly kept Richarlison onside, allowing the Brazilian to roll the ball across from the right, and Johnson made no mistake with his finish.
Spurs were pressing with precision and forced Trafford into an error, with the Englishman's risky ball eventually dropping into the path of Palhinha to net his first goal since joining on loan from Bayern Munich.
They could have made it a more handsome scoreline in the second half but Dominic Solanke saw his low drive pushed out by Trafford late on and Wilson Odobert was also denied from the rebound.
