5 Reasons Why Tottenham Humbled City

Man City fans still haven’t come to terms with their First Leg Champions League loss to Tottenham following a 78th-minute goal by Son. The loss has put a damper on City’s quadruple chances as they must put in extra effort when both teams meet at the Etihad Stadium.

If they want to improve their chances of winning the second leg, they should put Scooper’s 5 reasons why Man City lost to Tottenham into consideration. They are as follows:

· Guardiola's Arrogance/ Overconfidence

This was perhaps the most noticeable reason for City’s loss last night. Pep Guardiola displayed a touch of arrogance in his decision not to start City’s best midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne and it cost them greatly. His team selection was confusing, featuring a new system which saw David Silva in a more advanced role and, most intriguingly, Delph doubling as a left-back and holding midfielder, flitting between the positions depending on the whereabouts of the ball.

City was missing the injured Bernardo Silva, but who would have thought Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gündogan would be selected ahead of Leroy Sané and Kevin De Bruyne?

Perhaps it would have worked out very differently if Agüero had scored from the VAR-assisted penalty.

It was and still is difficult to understand why a routinely successful side would experiment with a new formation and tactics for such a key assignment. City has, after all, beaten everyone in the Premier League by playing the way they know best. Sadly, Manchester City was barely able to create chances, having only 2 shots on target in the entire game.

· Aguero KUN’t Deliver

Likewise, Aguero-who is the highest goal scorer this EPL season (19 goals) seemed to be trying to cope with his return from injury.

His 12th-minute penalty miss also seemed to immensely affect the striker’s psyche as he was almost useless throughout the game and was subbed off in the 71st minute.

· Pochettino's Brilliance

Despite City’s mistakes which played a pivotal role in their loss, Tottenham coach, Pochettino’s brilliance cannot be overemphasized. His 4-2-3-1 formation was obviously the best to counter City’s 4-3-3.

They were quicker to the ball, strong in tackle and determined to unsettle their opponents with intensity. Kane chased down everything during his time on the pitch. He took several hits for his troubles, particularly when Fernandinho banged him with an elbow then repeated the trick while they were on the floor.

Kane was soon subbed off when Delph’s studs landed on his left ankle and as soon as the striker rose to his feet, he never looked back at the pitch again, making his way down the tunnel with the aid of one of the club’s medics.

. New Home, New Spirit

Pochettino’s team has looked a different out since they moved to their new stadium; talk about good investment!!! They have won the two games played on their new turf. Prior to the move, they hadn’t won any of their last five games in the Premier League.

Talk about, marking your territory.

· Son Of The Soil

It’s safe to say that the new stadium is Son’s own turf. The South-Korean forward netted the only goal in the Champions League clash which helped Tottenham win the game.

This is Son’s second goal in two games at Tottenham’s new stadium.

Who is their father? Son!

Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe | Nigeria's First President And African Nationalist

Nnamdi - My Father Is Alive Take a look at the 500 naira note, the man on there is Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe . Please bear in mind that the naira note is a tapestry of pictures that represent the things and people we are most proud of as Nigerians and we are definitely proud of Nnamdi Azikiwe. 'Zik' as he was fondly called(16 November 1904 – 11 May 1996) was a Nigerian statesman who was Governor General of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963 and the first President of Nigeria from 1963 to 1966 (when Nigeria became a republic).

Samuel Eto'o Says, "I Made Barcelona A Winning Team & Not Lionel Messi"

Former Barcelona striker, Samuel Eto’o has claimed he was the reason behind the team’s successes under ex-manager Pep Guardiola, not fellow forward, Lionel Messi as speculated. Messi, who is currently in Manchester ahead of Barcelona’s Champions League quarter-final against the Red Devils, is believed to be the star behind the Barca’s success streak at the Champions League about a decade ago. Both Eto’o and Messi partnered in two Champions League finals, a 2-0 win in Rome 10 years ago and the 2011 win at Wembley. These titles add to two more European honours and nine La Liga titles. Messi was joined at Barcelona for five seasons by Eto’o, who scored 130 goals in nearly 200 appearances. The Cameroonian striker now plays in the Middle East, with more than 350 goals in his career. Speaking to beIN SPORTS, Eto’o said: “I’ve said to Guardiola ‘you’ll apologise to me because it’ll be me that will make Barcelona win...
