City's nightmare start: Tottenham win 2-0 in Manchester

Manchester City had a nightmare debut at the Etihad. Guardiola's team lost 0-2 to Tottenham in their home opener in front of 55,000 fans, thanks to two defensive errors. Spurs, winning their second straight match after a 3-0 win in their opening game against Burnley, took the lead in the 35th minute when Johnson capitalized on a mistake by the entire City defense to score from close range after Richarlison's cross. The goal was initially flagged for offside, but VAR later upheld it.

Trafford's glaring mistake doubles Tottenham's lead

City's second, even more sensational, blunder occurred in first-half stoppage time. 22-year-old goalkeeper James Trafford, signed from Burnley for €35 million and still preferred to Ederson, completely misplaced a pass with his feet in the center of the area to Gonzalez: Sarr easily beat the Spanish midfielder and passed it to Richarlison, who in turn passed the ball to Palhinha for Spurs' second goal.

Ait-Nouri injured

City, who had squandered two golden chances to take the lead at 0-0 through Marmoush, attempted to respond but missed their best chance to get back into the game through Haaland. The poor performance at Trafford reinforces the rumors surrounding Gigi Donnarumma's arrival in Manchester, who said goodbye to the PSG fans on Friday evening. Adding to the unexpected defeat, City also have to deal with the bad news of defender Rayan Ait-Nouri's injury, who was forced off after just 22 minutes.
