Tottenham Hotspur have picked up yet another victory against Manchester City in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola’s side are usually the team everyone fears, but Spurs have managed to get some big wins over them in recent years.
On Saturday, Tottenham did it again, thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha, and that takes them to the top of the Premier League table.
Thomas Frank is proving to be a huge upgrade on Ange Postecoglou, and Spurs fans are loving the way he is managing their side.
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank joins Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte in elite list
Guardiola, in many people’s eyes, is the greatest manager football has ever seen.
The Spaniard built one of the greatest sides of all time at Barcelona, and he has achieved immense success at Bayern Munich and Manchester City since.
It is not often that other managers get the better of Guardiola, but some big names have on multiple occasions in the past.
Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, who are both former Spurs bosses, were the only managers in history to beat Guardiola away from home with two different teams.
The Special One did it with Real Madrid in 2012 and Manchester United in 2018, while Conte managed to do it with Chelsea and Tottenham in 2016 and 2022, respectively.
Now, following Tottenham’s 2-0 win against City, Thomas Frank has joined that elite list, having also beaten Guardiola’s side at the Etihad in November 2022 when he was the Brentford boss.
Daniel Levy may have made one right decision at Tottenham
Daniel Levy comes under a lot of criticism from Tottenham fans.
The Spurs chairman has made plenty of mistakes over the years, the latest of which was missing out on Eberechi Eze to Arsenal just a few days ago.
Tottenham supporters started chanting ‘we want Levy out’ at the start of the game at the Etihad today as well, but they must all admit that he has got one decision right.
Levy controversially sacked Ange Postecoglou and appointed Frank as his replacement, and that looks like a fantastic decision.
Now, Levy has to back Frank in the final days of the window and get him the players he needs.
