Tottenham Hotspur have produced a scintillating display to defeat Manchester City 2-0 at White Hart Lane.
City were completely outclassed, dropping their first points of the league campaign and showed defensive frailties which will buoy those competing for the title.
Tottenham took the lead inside 10 minutes when a Danny Rose cross was turned in for an own goal by Aleksander Kolarov.
Spurs’ first half dominance saw them double the lead in the 37th minute after Deli Alli’s one-two with Son Heung-min saw the former finish stroke the ball past a despairing Claudio Bravo from 12 yards.
In the second half City failed to provide much of a response, despite Bravo’s smart save from a poorly taken penalty from Erik Lamela.
The Spurs supporter base are adamant they have just what it takes to challenge for the title after an impressive display against the bookies’ favourites.
Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter from jubilant Spurs fans:
Ruthless by #THFC today. Son and Wanyama absolutely brilliant. Expect them to push for the title again this season. Superb.

There is no way on earth, that in this moment in time, Luke Shaw is better than Danny Rose #THFC #COYS #facts

Toby Alderweireld is a magnificent defender. So rarely makes a mistake. #THFC

Hard to define a player of many talents like Alli, but today was the man at his best. Terrific goal and a fine all-round effort. #THFC

Dele Alli superb today, took his goal with aplomb and generally unsettled City with his movement and trickery #THFC

I know he’s improved massively but Lamela needs to be dropped. He’s been a liability this half #THFC #COYS

Alderweireld and Vertonghan are the best centre-half partnership in the Premier League, consistently class together. #THFC
