For Manchester City for so long, all that was missing was a goal. They found one in the end.
As for Tottenham, they were merely short of a plan and that didn’t change from the first minute until the last.
This was a Spurs team with a fresh look on the touchline but they were stale as old bread on the field. With a little more sharpness in front of goal, City would have had Ryan Mason’s team on toast. A caretaker regime could well have been in bits after just a week.
