Tottenham Hotspur claimed a second successive Premier League victory under new boss Thomas Frank, once again silencing the Etihad with a 2-0 win over Manchester City, according to Xinhua.

Just as in November's 4-0 demolition, Spurs left Manchester with all three points - this time through a resolute defensive performance and ruthless counterattacks.

City threatened early, with Omar Marmoush dragging wide after capitalizing on Pedro Porro's loose header, before forcing Guglielmo Vicario into two fine saves - a thunderous long-range strike and a one-on-one effort after being played in by Erling Haaland.

But Tottenham struck first with their very first clear opening. A blistering break ended with Richarlison's low cross being swept in by Brennan Johnson. The offside flag went up, but VAR overturned the call to give Spurs the lead.

The visitors doubled their advantage in first-half stoppage time. With seven minutes added for an injury to City full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, James Trafford's poor pass inside his own box sparked chaos, allowing Joao Palhinha to hammer home.

It capped a torrid spell for the young City goalkeeper, who moments earlier had narrowly avoided a red card for a reckless collision with Mohammed Kudus on the edge of the area.
