Jose Mourinho's side defended resolutely and got their rewards up top and end the evening at the summit of the table, two points clear of Chelsea.

Next up for Spurs is a Europa League tie at home to Ludogorets on Thursday, before a mouthwatering clash at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea next Sunday.

City meanwhile travel to Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday before hosting Burnley at the Etihad a week today.

Man City Manager Pep Guardiola's reaction after losing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: "The perfect scenario for them, to concede a goal after five or six minutes when we knew that Kane drops and Bergwijn and Son run in behind and we have to defend better and it was a perfect scenario for them and after that they defended so deep."

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City "struggle to score goals" this season ⬇

PEP 💬 (Spurs) are top of the league so they are more title contenders than anyone else right now. There are a lot of teams in front of us.

I think we are not far, far away but we struggle to score goals right now. Ten goals in nine games is not good enough.

Tottenham Hotspur Manager Jose Mourinho's post-match comments: "It's not me, I'd prefer the players to speak because they are the ones, they were fantastic.

"They gave everything, they followed a strategy and football sometimes, now more than ever, strategy plays an important part, and they were amazing.

"This guy Harry Kane represents the spirit of the other guys, the way he works for the team is the same way the others do it.

"It was very important to respect them, and not forget the team that they are.

"If we follow people speaking about them not being as good as before, if we follow the fake table because they have one match in hand then we would probably play in a different way.

"But against these guys we all know how Pep teams are and the quality of the players we defined the way to play and it was magnificent to see them do what they did, so super congratulations to the players." TheSun
