Tottenham have changed a lot in the new season. Coach Enze Postecoglou, who has led the team so far, left. Coach Frank has taken the new helm. Above all, Son Heung-min, who has been at the center of the team for the past 10 years, has taken on a new challenge. He left Tottenham for LA FC.
Son Heung-min was particularly strong against Manchester City. He scored eight goals and five assists in 21 games against Man City. But Tottenham didn't have Son Heung-min anymore. Moreover, Son Heung-min's replacement could not be selected.
Tottenham had a new 'Man City Killer'. British media BBC reported 'Tottenham was strange this summer. Both transfers, which seemed likely to be successful, had to deal with a disgraceful situation in which both transfers were canceled. Tottenham, however, praised Frank, saying he could be the best recruit.
BeIN Sports is the first team to win away league matches in Manchester City since May 2010. Frank became the third head coach in the league to beat Guardiola in two different teams after Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
