Double bad drink for Guardiola
Pep Guardiola would rather not travel to north London. Not only because Manchester City were knocked out of the League Cup early for the third season in a row against Angers Postecoglou’s Tottenham (2-1), but also because returned to Manchester with Savigno is injured. Very possibly serious. While the Brazilian left the field on a stretcher and Erling Haaland spent the entire 90 minutes on the bench, Tottenham takes special double revenge citizens.
Great goals from Timo Werner and Pape Matar Sarr They made up for last year’s Premier League defeat in the first half as Pep Guardiola’s men stormed the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium thanks to Stefan Ortega’s heroics to claim their fourth league title in a row. This time the German goalkeeper only managed to stop numerous attacks spurs in the second part. Also in 2023-2024, Manchester City knocked out spursnamely in the League Cup, with Nathan Ake’s goal in the last minute.
Although coach Sampedora appears to have reinstated Matheus Nunez, who gave Manchester City hope before the break and connected on three goal-scoring games for his side – a goal and two assists against Sparta Prague, as well as an assist in the win over Southampton – What also continues to replenish the staff is the Manchester City hospital: Rodri Hernandez, Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, Oscar Bobb… And next weekend – Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth.
Run, Werner, run
With a much larger starting XI than Manchester City (Erling Haaland, Josko Guardiol and Bernardo Silva all on the bench), Tottenham took the lead on the scoreboard very well and very quickly. Timo Werner’s superb goal in the 6th minute, his first of the season, was the culmination of a perfect counter-attack by the team. spurs. And the German striker’s joyful face minutes later contrasted with Mickey van de Ven’s disappointment and anger after he had to leave the field with another muscle problem.
Both the London team’s 1-0 and 2-0 were thanks to the boots of a particularly inspired Dejan Kulusevski. Both goals from Ange Postecoglou’s students were executed very beautifully. It was Pape Matar Sarr who doubled the local team’s lead before the half-hour mark with a wild strike from outside the area after a rehearsal in the corner.. Although Tottenham’s attacks and counter-attacks, especially on the right from Rico Lewis, were damaging to a highly developed defence. citizen, Matheus Nunez’s goal in the last minute of five added to the first half He completely brought Pep Guardiola’s students into the game.
Savigno Falls, City Falls
After the match restarted, the roles did not change and Tottenham continued to punish the visiting defenders. The difference is that Ange Postecoglou’s students have repeatedly clashed between the sticks with Stefan Ortega. First Brennan Johnson, a few minutes later Dejan Kulusevski and, best of all, Richarlison a few minutes before the end. What also made the second 45 minutes similar to the first was that a player also had to leave the field due to physical problems, this time for Manchester City.
Covering his face with his hands, visibly upset and apparently complaining about his right ankle, Savigno left the field on a stretcher.. Pep Guardiola, taking an interest in his player, consulted the medical team about what happened. The man who would remain without a game for a minute and see his team relegated from the bench would be Erling Haaland. The Spanish coach prioritized the Premier League and left the Norwegian to rest. The last match should have been for youth team player Nico O’Reilly, but Yves Bissouma scored on the same goal line for a possible 2-2 score.. Tottenham completed their special revenge.
