Tottenham manager Thomas Frank received praise from goal scorers João Palhinha and Brennan Johnson after a convincing 2-0 win over Manchester City. The victory marked back-to-back wins for Frank, who has started the season on a high note, also defeating Burnley 3-0 in their opener.
The match saw Tottenham take control early, with Johnson scoring from Richarlison’s pass before Palhinha capitalized on a calamitous goalkeeping mistake to double the lead. City struggled to break down the well-drilled and disciplined Tottenham side, who sit atop the Premier League table.
Johnson has continued his promising start to the season, scoring in each of their two Premier League matches so far. In an interview with TNT Sports, he praised Frank’s coaching style, saying it offers a balance between detail and attacking freedom.
Tottenham have made some key signings since Frank joined from Brentford this summer, including Mohamed Kudus and Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich. Palhinha cited Frank as the reason for his decision to return to the Premier League, stating he’s happy to be part of a great club with top atmosphere.
The win sets up Tottenham’s final Premier League match before the international break against Bournemouth. They will also discover their Champions League opponents on Thursday.
