Tunnel Talk: Tottenham 2-0 Manchester City
Sunday 2 October 2016 23:11, UK
Jamie Redknapp is joined by Geoff Shreeves to look back on Tottenham’s impressive victory over the previously unbeaten Manchester City.
Spurs inflicted Pep Guardiola's first defeat at Manchester City as they moved to within one point of the leaders with a scintillating 2-0 victory at White Hart Lane.
Spurs got off to a flying start at White Hart Lane, taking the lead on nine minutes after Aleksandar Kolarov put through his own net before Dele Alli slotted a slick second seven minutes before half-time.
City, who trailed for the first time under Guardiola in the Premier League, rallied after the interval but struggled to replicate the form that had guided them to six top-flight wins from six beforehand.
In fact, things could have been worse for City had Erik Lamela not seen his second-half penalty saved by Claudio Bravo. In the end, it proved immaterial as Spurs held on to secure their best start to a league campaign since 1960/61, asserting their own title credentials as they left Guardiola to mull over his first league defeat since March.
The pair talk about how both managers will view the result and what it means for Guardiola moving forward. Redknapp also looks at how the Spaniard can improve his squad in the future and how they missed the injured Kevin De Bruyne at White Hart Lane.
Toby Alderweireld is singled out for praise, while the impact of new signing Victor Wanyama, who was named man of the match, is also discussed with Redknapp labelling him 'immense'.
