The best way to describe the 2-nil defeat to Tottenham that Manchester City suffered on Saturday is disappointing. Pep Guardiola’s side weren’t at their best throughout the Premier League fixture

Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday as Thomas Frank got a huge win against Pep Guardiola’s error-strewn side. City have now lost seven of their last 13 Premier League games against Spurs, with Guardiola losing more games against them than any other side.

It is perhaps unwise to make grand conclusions about any team two games into their season, but when Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur meet on Saturday, the teams will be telling a tale of two very different rebuilds.
