Manchester, England
Omo, see ehn, Tottenham Hotspur just deliver one hot slap to Manchester City for the Etihad with strong 2-0 victory wey dem never see coming! Na aim wey Thomas Frank don set for dis season, dem dey do well. Na Beckham’s underdog story dem dey act, but this time, na football wahala wey dem gather plenty points to top the league table.
First half shine as Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha, na him first full debut be this one, dey show City say dem no fit rest! Johnson start am with correct strike wey go through VAR review, e no even pilot am, as dem claim say him dey offside before. But VAR no gree! Na so he turn dem into goal machine!
Meanwhile, Palhinha dey shine like diamond as he punish City players wey no fit hold ball properly (no be small. The goalkeeper dem dey panic!). As early as second minute of stoppage time for first half, risky pass from City keeper enter juju wahala, and Palhinha just cut am like chop, bam! Na goal again for Spurs!
City wey just come strong with 4 goals for they first match, dey look like wetin don happen. Pep Guardiola dey front dey wonder what’s going on on top field, and him side dey try come back with some quick plays but nothing fit happen. Rodri and Foden try here and there, but dey dey waste chance wey no dey land. Omo, people dey shout, “Who dey manage this side?”
Spurs dey carry more na bucks, with two wins for two matches wey dem don play. They dey wave flag for high table wey take two points ahead of other competitors. City don face wahala, even though na just two matches and e fit dey too early to call wahala. E mean say Guardiola no fit afford to slack now, o! (Because last season no sweet for dem).
Before the match go end, City dem get small chance make dem score, but Spurs goalkeeper Vicario dey stand like rock! Na him dey block shots after shots. Omo, e no get break at all! Dem try push back, but e dey come back like buffalo. City dey face reality check, as dem dey come out from dis defeat strong.
Frank dey feel sweet as him side dey cut through City like knife through butter – five trips now dem don score at least two goals since dem don start to dey perform for Etihad. (Walahi, na sweet story for Spurs fans). Next week, dem go face Bournemouth, wetin fit make matter clear for dem if dem fit keep their form.
Pep, e no tire, say: “Na just two matches we don play. Last week everybody dey hail us, now dem dey whine. But chiefs, we go bounce back.” But for Thomas Frank, nah as e dey come, fit turn dis season into one of ‘em dream season. E get plans to keep climbing higher, and Spurs fans dey comot on top, de go party with palm wine soon if dem continue like this.
