Tottenham fans would have been over the moon to see their side continue last seasons form in to the new campaign as they again assert themselves as title challengers.

As for Man City it will be a week to forget after shipping 3 goals in midweek to Celtic and now they have come back down to earth with a bang after this afternoons defeat.

Kevin De Bruyne is a huge miss for City as they have struggled in recent games without one of their best players of the season so far.
