'It was the Mourinho of old... a classic performance': Gary Neville leads the praise of Tottenham's boss after brilliant victory over bitter rival Pep Guardiola as Jamie Redknapp insists Spurs ARE title contenders following 'masterclass' against Man City

Jose Mourinho was hailed for a 'masterclass' as his Tottenham Hotspur side saw off his old rival Pep Guardiola and Manchester City to burnish their title credentials.

Spurs moved to the top of the Premier League table - at least until Leicester City head to Liverpool on Sunday evening - as pundits purred over a 'classic Mourinho performance.'

Though they only saw 34 per cent of the ball, Mourinho's side defended resolutely and were able to punish City on the count-attack, with Son Heung-min and Giovani Lo Celso scoring their only two shots on target.
