Tottenham travelled to Man City on Saturday evening with both clubs needing a result and Yves Bissouma put his team on the backfoot inside the opening 14 seconds of the match.
Spurs came into the game at the Etihad Stadium having suffered back-to-back defeats before the international break, losing 3-2 away to Galatasaray in the Europa League before suffering a major setback against Ipswich Town, in which Ange Postecoglou’s side were beaten 2-1 by the Tractor Boys.
In the opposite corner, Man City’s results have been just as bad as Pep Guardiola’s men have uncharacteristically lost four games in a row.
Quickest yellow card of the season?! 🟡😳

Three points on Saturday would be vital for the Premier League champions as they cannot afford to fall further behind Liverpool ahead of facing the Reds next weekend at Anfield.
The Manchester club received a major boost during the week as Pep Guardiola put pen to paper on a new contract at the Etihad. This might bring some stability to their season but only time will tell if that will be the case.
Man City received another boost in the opening 14 seconds of their clash with Tottenham as Yves Bissouma picked up a yellow card and that would not have made Postecoglou happy.
