Tottenham produced a Jose Mourinho masterclass as goals from Heung-min Son and Giovani Lo Celso earned a 2-0 win over Manchester City

Mourinho’s side have been touted as title contenders after a terrific recent run and emphasised their credentials with a superb tactical display, stifling Pep Guardiola’s side and punishing them ruthlessly on the break.

Son opened the scoring after just five minutes as he swept beneath Ederson after a terrific pass over the top from Tanguy Ndombele. 

Both sides then had goals disallowed, Harry Kane finishing a flowing move from an offside position before Gabriel Jesus used his arm to control when teeing up Aymeric Laporte to finish. 

Lo Celso was sent on as a substitute shortly after the hour-mark and had an immediate impact, the Argentine slotting home after being slipped in by the outstanding Kane within a minute of his introduction.
