LONDON (AP) Tottenham beat Manchester City 2-0 Saturday to go top of the English Premier League with a trademark, defense-first performance from Jose Mourinho against his old rival Pep Guardiola.
Mourinho marked a year since he replaced Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham manager with a win built on compact defending and smartly timed counter-attacks, as Guardiola tasted defeat in his first game since signing a two-year contract extension at City.
''We know how good Pep's teams are and how good the players are,'' Mourinho told Sky Sports. ''We found a way to play and it was magnificent to see them play how they did.
