The victory switched the focus from City's best opening to a top-flight campaign to what has become Spurs' finest start to a season since 1961 when they won the league and FA Cup double. Elsewhere, there were draws for Stoke City at Manchester United (1-1) and Southampton at champions Leicester City (0-0). Guardiola was gracious in defeat, admitting Spurs had been the better side. Within two minutes United were ahead, though it was the Frenchman, not England's record scorer, who netted. It could have been 3-0 or 4-0 at halftime, 6-0 at the end of the game, but the result was 1-1.
