Mohammed Kudus impresses as Spurs shock Man City
From the first whistle, Kudus unsettled Pep Guardiola’s backline with his fearless runs and sharp close control.
His ability to carry the ball forward gave Tottenham a constant outlet, pushing the team higher up the pitch and helping them pin City back.
His relentless energy was particularly crucial in transition. Brennan Johnson opened the scoring before Joao Palhinha doubled the advantage just before half-time, with Kudus heavily involved in the build-up play that kept Spurs on the front foot.
The 25-year-old almost produced the decisive moment of the afternoon when he clattered into goalkeeper James Trafford in a 50-50 challenge.
A different interpretation from the referee might have left City with 10 men.
Statistics from Sofascore highlighted the completeness of Kudus’ display.
He completed three dribbles, won three tackles, and provided defensive cover for Pedro Porro down the right.
While he neither scored nor assisted, his influence was undeniable. Perhaps the highlight came during one breathtaking sequence that summed up Kudus’ style.

Kudus mesmerises Bernardo Silva and 2 other Man City stars
Picking up the ball under pressure, he drove towards the right wing with Bernardo Silva hot on his heels and Nathan Ake closing him down.
A subtle touch left Silva behind, a quick change of direction forced Ake off balance, and another slick move helped him glide away from a third City player.
It was a piece of play that showcased his strength, resilience, and flair — qualities that make him one of the league’s best ball carriers.

“Imagine Savio on the other side too.”
The win handed Tottenham back-to-back victories and clean sheets, putting them level with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.
Kudus, already central to Thomas Frank’s new-look side, will now set his sights on ending his mini goal drought when Spurs face Antoine Semenyo’s Bournemouth on August 30.
