Tottenham's goals against Manchester City represented two key features of their new manager’s attacking principles

Manchester City suffered a disappointing 2-nil defeat to Tottenham yesterday. First-half goals from Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha were enough for Thomas Frank’s side to pick up all three points

With this victory, Tottenham has now won 11 of their 30 encounters against Manchester City, narrowing the gap in their head-to-head record. City's dominance in past meetings is being challenged by Spurs' recent successes at the Etihad.
