[Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London, England) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM Reporter] The changes made by coach Engie Postecoglou failed for now. Completely ruined the first half of Man City.

Tottenham finished 0-1 behind Manchester City in the 27th round of the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 26th (local time).

Postecoglou sought change. Son Heung-min, Klushevski and Spence were benched. It appeared to be a strategic choice. But it wasn't good enough.




Man City went on the offensive from the start. He drilled the right line in the 7th minute of the first half. Sabiu and Núñez exchanged balls. Holan shot Núñez's cross. It was in front of the goalkeeper. In the ensuing attack, a back-space pass went in. Holan sped away. Vicario saved it first.

In the end, Manchester City scored the first goal. It was 12 minutes in the first half. It quickly went up to the attack. Doku caught the ball on the left. Then, Cross and Holan ran through the defenders as they were, shooting and shaking the net.

Tottenham's attack was not sharp. It was an obvious pattern. I was turning the ball at my waist and aimed for the back space. It kept getting caught. Used to allow Manchester City to counterattack. It didn't create a particular situation. Rather, he allowed Doku to shoot sharply in the 20th minute of the first half. The Vicario goalkeeper blocked it.

Man City also missed a good chance. It was 27 minutes in the first half. He launched a counterattack. Holan passed and the pass went back to the left in the midfield. Doku made a sharp cross. Sabiu shot right in front of the goal. It went over the goal. It was such a disappointing moment for Manchester City.

Half an hour Man City attacked again. Passes flowed from the right side. The ball went to the left and shook the defense. The pass went in. Holan shot. Vicario blocked it.

In the rest of the time, Tottenham added strength to the attack, but they were powerless. Manchester City players played a solid defense. Tottenham rarely penetrated it.




The whistle at the end of the first half went off. Man City are leading the way.
