The Egyptian was lively early on and forced another excellent save from the Spurs goalkeeper after being played through by Erling Haaland. With their first real threat of the game, Spurs took the lead courtesy of a lightning breakaway as Richarlison's low cross was converted by Brennan Johnson.

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.
