Manchester City 0-2 Tottenham: Spurs stun City at Etihad to secure easy win
Tottenham's disciplined defense and clinical finishing secured a 2-0 victory over Manchester City, marking a rare home defeat for City despite their strong start to the season.
- On Saturday, 23 August 2025, Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium, with Brennan Johnson scoring at 36' and Joao Palhinha at 45+2, aided by James Trafford's costly error on his home debut.
- After opening-weekend wins, both teams met in Manchester as Pep Guardiola's Manchester City had triumphed 4-0 over Wolves with Haaland, Reijnders, and Cherki scoring, while Thomas Frank's Tottenham secured a 3-0 victory over Burnley with Richarlison and Kudus influential.
- Guardiola gave a Friday fitness update as City faced absences, while Thomas Frank kept the 4-2-3-1 and Richarlison started ahead of Dominic Solanke.

- Thomas Frank remains undecided on a 3-5-2 formation with Kevin Danso as an option; recent Etihad historical records show 21 goals in the last four matches and Paddy Power set a 69.2% probability on City.
