Man City 0-1 Tottenham
38 mins: Manchester City concede to a counter-attack? It happened often last season. Now the first goal they have conceded this year has come in a familiar fashion

GOAL! Man City 0-1 Tottenham (JOHNSON 36′)
RICHARLISON WAS ONSIDE AND JOHNSON GIVES SPURS THE LEAD AT THE ETIHAD!
What a move from Spurs! City were caught sleeping and are hit on the counter-attack!
John Stones may have slipped as Richarlison burst away from him.

NO GOAL! Man City 0-0 Tottenham
35 mins: Spurs have the ball in the net but the flag is up! This will be checked…
It’s an excellent move as Spurs go from back to front and Richarlison slides across to Johnson, who beats Trafford.

32 mins: Johnson gets a very silly and unnecessary yellow card for delaying the restart after giving a free-kick away.

Man City 0-0 Tottenham
30 mins: Tottenham almost break away on the counter as Kudus gambles on Reijnders misjudging the bouncing ball. It wasn’t great from Reijnders, but he gets away with it as it doesn’t quite settle down for Kudus either.

28 mins: CHANCE! Oh this is wonderful from Haaland, and it should be 1-0!
Haaland shrugs off Bentancur and then plays a perfect through pass to find Marmoush’s run.
Vicario gets out well and but Marmoush hits it straight into his body. Almost De Bruyne-esque from Haaland.

Man City 0-0 Tottenham
26 mins: After a bright start, this has got a little scrappy. Oscar Bobb plays the ball straight out of play, a moment or two after Marmoush failed to control a switch from left to right.

Man City 0-0 Tottenham
25 mins: Thomas Frank had looked a little frustrated with Richarlison’s hold-up play so far, while Brennan Johnson is only now getting into the game with a couple of bursts. A long ball goes towards Kudus but bounces off the winger.

Man City 0-0 Tottenham
23 mins: An early end to Rayan Ait-Nouri’s home debut as he limps off. City had plenty of injury problems at the back last season. They will hope this is not the start of a repeat.

Man City 0-0 Tottenham
21 mins: Ait-Nouri can’t continue after all. He will be replaced by Nathan Ake, who had been linked with Everton this week. Ake will slot in at left back where he will face up against Mohammed Kudus, who has been quiet so far.
