Heung-Min Son fired Tottenham to a 1-0 victory against the defending champions, Manchester City on Saturday to begin the campaign for premier league trophy on a bright note.
City lack the bite they possessed that made them a terror to clubs last season, as the homers took advantage of a shaky side to deliver the goods.
Steven Bergwijn had teed up Heung-Min Son on 57 minutes on the edge of the box and he fired the ball into the bottom left corner.
As usual, City kept possession by 66 percent and had 18 attempts on goal with two shots on goal and 11 corner kicks, all producing no goal.
Tottenham’s goalkeeper had four shots on target saved, while the homers scored a goal from their two shots on target.
Earlier on 25 minutes, Lucas arrived first to connect a rebound inside the penalty area and unleashed a quick strike towards the bottom right corner that beats the keeper. One of the defenders, however, made a goal-line clearance.
On 50 minutes, Heung-Min Son found himself unmarked in a promising position after receiving a cross on the edge of the box and his attempt sailed a whisker wide of the right post.
