Tottenham Hotspur are currently the only team in the Premier League who are unbeaten.
Danny Rose has told the Guardian that he does not feel he is being too cocky by saying that Tottenham Hotspur were totally comfortable during their match against Manchester City last weekend.
Spurs ran out 2-0 winners against Pep Guardiola’s side in their most recent outing, and the scoreline could have been even heavier, if Mauricio Pochettino’s side had been more ruthless.
Erik Lamela missed a penalty during the second half of the contest, but in the end Spurs ran out thoroughly deserved winners.
And Rose said: “We showed Manchester City are beatable. The manager had a game-plan and he knows how to beat Pep Guardiola’s teams as he’d done in Spain, and we fully deserved the win at the weekend. I’m not being cocky or anything, but I felt we were pretty comfortable as well.
“The manager just sets out his game plan from the start of the week, with even the smallest details like (what we should do) from goal kicks. Things like that. He knew what he wanted us to do. We did it and we did it to full capacity. I haven’t had the chance to speak to Mauricio, but I know that he will be over the moon after the game we played on Sunday.”
Tottenham’s win over City has earned them a number of plaudits, and there is now a strong feeling that they are genuine title contenders this season.
Spurs are currently just one point behind the Citizens, who top the Premier League table, and they are the only Premier League side who are unbeaten to date this season.
Tottenham have great momentum behind them, but they now have to wait two weeks until their next match, due to the international break.
When Premier League football does return, Spurs’ first match will come against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns.
