Shocking but true is
what Pellegrini’s Boys encountered for the second consecutive week, losing this
time to an inspired and determined Spurs squad to a 4-1 rout.
This time someone
came prepared to play and it was the local’s as White Hart Lane couldn’t believe
their eyes after seeing how brilliantly its Boys played all afternoon long.
Despite the visitors
early goal in the 25th minute from Kevin De Bruyne with a one two play
with Yaya Toure, The Sky Blues went ahead and dominated almost the whole first
half despite the Lilywhites counter
attack.
In the 45th
it’s when the Spurs Eric Dier put the game at halftime all even and giving Pellegrini’s
side a certain wake up call that at the end they couldn’t be awaken after the second
half after seeing their efforts going down the tubes.
The second half saw a
hungry and determined Spurs side netting the go ahead goals and stopping a Man
City offensive attack that did many attempts to penetrate the posts defended by
Hugo Lloris and well defended by an overzealous Lilywhites backfield.
And seeing how
desperately the Citizens were playing with their lead man in its frontal attack
in Sergio Aguero that never stooped in pestering the local’s defense, still the
perseverance and astute thinking of the Spurs defensive core.
Made it a living hell
for the Citizens offensive drives and attacks all afternoon long a living hell,
after all this club is the one that started the campaign with a strong note and
last week after being upset by a resilient West Ham.
All of a sudden
things are becoming a bit of a nightmare for the Sky Blues seeing a strong
start in this campaign all of a sudden for Manager Manuel Pellegrini things are
coming from bad to worse and with a Champions match at Borussia Mochengladbach.
The outlook for the Citizens
suddenly is looking a bit grim but not for the Spurs who saw a revival in its
offensive side from newcomer Toby Alderweireld who scored in the 50th
minute, Harry Kane ending his scoring drought this campaign in the 60th
and Erik Lamela in the 79th .
As many see things a bit
different here in North London and with a welcome relief in their club new philosophy
and game brought by their new Boss, possibly this club can return to its old
glory days in Premiership and very well do it in its upcoming UEFA compromises.
For now the Spurs
look a bit renewed and ready for any challenge thrown at them in this edition
of Premiership that so far this win puts them four points behind first place
Manu with sixteen points by twelve of them and in fifth.
Slowly but surely is
what the goals are put in place by Manager Pochettino, who’s seeking the top
oif possible for his club and the Barclay’s Premier League shield if things and
results continue in the positive for his Spurs.
