Harry Kane didn’t not feature in Tottenham’s opening Premier League match of the season as Spurs celebrated a famous win over their captain’s would-be employers Manchester City. Korean star Son Heung-Min scored the only goal as Spurs’ new boss Nuno Espirito Santo marked his first match in charge with three points.Son scored for Spurs by curling in a low shot from the edge of the area that that flew into the bottom corner of Ederson’s net. Spurs have been excellent in the second half and deserved their win after deflecting wave after wave of sky blue attacks.Japhet Tanganga’s game by numbers vs. Man City:100% long ball accuracy 90% pass accuracy 49 touches4 duels won 4 fouls committed 2 tackles 2 clearances 1 interception 1 cross No way past. ⛔ pic.twitter.com/Xo67Ngrgii— Squawka Football (@Squawka) August 15, 2021 Pep Guardiola brought on Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and Olexandr Zinchenko in a desperate attempt to break the hosts down, but nothing worked. New boy Jack Grealish had a forgettable day as he showed nerves on more than one occasion. Spurs had a great day out in front of their fans who belatedly came in numbers to their new stadium.For a day at least, Tottenham fans forgot about the stalemate concerning their want-away captain Kane. The England star’s future is far from certain because he seems determined to leave his boyhood club with City leading the chase for his signature. However, Spurs are reluctant to let him join Premier League holders.😅 Pep Guardiola at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:Games: 4Losses: 4Goals scored: 0Goals conceded: 6#TOTMCI #THFC #COYS pic.twitter.com/r4cAWbAZg4— TranSPURS (@TranSPURS) August 15, 2021 Kane reported back for pre-season training later than scheduled after his efforts in leading England to the Euro 2020 final.
