Manchester City¡¯s troubles from last season were exposed once more in a humbling 2-0 home defeat to Tottenham on Saturday that raised questions over the club¡¯s quest to regain the Premier League title.

Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha struck for the Europa League winners just before halftime as Spurs went into a tie at the top of the table, making it a perfect start for Thomas Frank after two league games in charge.

¡°Extremely proud of the players, exceptionally good performance,¡± Frank said.
