Tottenham star issues challenge to Premier League opponents after win against Manchester City
Tottenham Hotspur continued their unbeaten start to the new Premier League campaign with victory against Manchester City.
The lead up to the game had been dominated by Tottenham’s failed move for Eberechi Eze which had frustrated many fans on the white side of North London and a trip to the Etihad Stadium is never an easy fixture for many teams.
Tottenham, however, have enjoyed decent success at the home of the former Premier League champions in recent times.
Saturday proved to be no different when Tottenham’s 2-0 win against Man City will have certainly made plenty of people sit up and take notice of Thomas Frank’s work at his new club.
Tottenham were dominant in win over Manchester City
While City threatened early on, Tottenham settled into the match, with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven keeping the likes of Erling Haaland from looking as if they were to find the back of the net.
With Destiny Udogie still not ready to return from injury, Djed Spence continued to operate at left-back and put in yet another impressive shift.
The 25-year-old, who must surely be on the radar for a call-up to the senior England squad for the World Cup qualifiers early next month, looked completely at ease against the attacking threat of the home side.
Spence’s pace is one of his key assets and when the likes of Oscar Bobb tried to take him on, they found themselves struggling to get past the Spurs defender.
Djed Spence has a message for Premier League opponents
Spence took to social media shortly after the final whistle where first-half goals from Brennan Johnson and summer signing Joao Palhinha proved to be enough to secure Tottenham’s first away win in the Premier League since beating Ipswich Town in October.
The former Middlesbrough player has challenged his future opponents by posting the caption “bring me your favourite winger.”
Earlier this week, Spence claimed that his team-mate Mohammed Kudus was unsuccessful in all ten attempts to get past him during training at Hotspur Way and would treat the the winger to dinner if he managed to beat him even on one single occasion.
