Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Monday night.
Manchester City remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season having beaten Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Wembley Stadium on Monday night.
Pep Guardiola’s men were favourites heading into a game played on a battered Wembley pitch just hours after the NFL clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars, and they showed their superiority.
A long ball from Ederson early on wasn’t dealt with by Kieran Trippier, and Raheem Sterling raced to the byline before cutting back for Riyad Mahrez to tap home the only goal of the game.
Spurs had their chances, and Erik Lamela squandered the best of those opportunities by blazing over the bar late on, leaving Spurs to slump to a 1-0 defeat.
City weren’t exactly at their best, and it’s no surprise given the state of the Wembley pitch, but a couple of players had particularly poor nights, including Kyle Walker.
The right back was making a second return to face his former club, and appeared to almost be trying too hard to impress against Mauricio Pochettino’s side as he was certainly not at his best.
The England international was rash and made poor decisions going forward, leading City fans to criticise his performance during and after the game on Twitter.
Supporters called Walker ‘clueless’, ‘terrible’ and ‘very immature’, even suggesting that he was still playing for Spurs in what was a poor performance from the man who left Tottenham more than a year ago.
