Tottenham beat Man City: Why manager Thomas Frank could be Spurs' best signing of summer

Tottenham secured a surprising 2-0 victory against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, marking their second consecutive win and clean sheet under new manager Thomas Frank. The Dane has made a strong start to his Premier League tenure, earning praise from supporters and impressing with the team's attacking style of play.

Frank's appointment follows Ange Postecoglou's departure after winning the Europa League last season, and he has quickly begun winning over fans despite widespread discontent over the club's perceived failures in the summer transfer window and frustration with chairman Daniel Levy. His hiring from Brentford is viewed as potentially the club's best signing.

The mood around Tottenham has been mixed this summer, with only two major additions to the squad—Mohamed Kudus and João Palhinha—following Postecoglou's exit. The team also faced setbacks including Son Heung-min's departure and James Maddison's season-long injury. Additionally, the club experienced embarrassment after two high-profile transfer deals collapsed, notably failing to sign Morgan Gibbs-White despite activating his £60 million release clause.
