The second round of the 2025-2026 Premier League season begins, and Manchester City will play against Tottenham at home on this match day. In this game, Haaland and Malmush were wasted opportunities one after another. Trafford played with fire and gave gifts. Johnson and Paligna scored 2 goals in a row. Manchester City lost 0-2 and temporarily sent Tottenham to the top. In the past three seasons, Manchester City has a home draw and 2 losses and one victory.

Manchester City swept Wolves 4-0 in the first round to grab the top spot, while Tottenham defeated the newly promoted Burnley 3-0, temporarily ranking second in the standings. Manchester City continued to use the 4231 formation in this game. Haaland broke out, and four new players, Sherki, Reindes, Ait Nuri and Trafford, made their debut together. Tottenham Hotspur is the forward trident of Risalisson, Johnson and Kudus, and Paligna is in the midfield.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Manchester City got an excellent opportunity. Trafford made a long pass in the backcourt and sent it directly to the front of the opponent's penalty area. Polo's header back pass was too light, which almost made a big mistake. Marmush inserted a small angle to push the shot, and rubbed the goal line slightly out, Tottenham escaped.

In the 17th minute, Marmush broke through from the left, cut inside the front of the penalty area and shot hard, Vicario returned with a wonderful save. In the 28th minute, Haaland showed outstanding impact, dribbled the ball in the middle and pushed forward with a precise pass. Marmush followed up and shot with a single shot. Vicario attacked and blocked it. Mr. 75 million missed the opportunity.

In the 35th minute, Tottenham kicked a quick counterattack, Polo made a long pass in the backcourt, Saar headed the ball, Risalisson followed up and made a cross, Johnson made a cross, and VAR verified that it was not offside, 1-0!

However, in the injury time period, Manchester City suffered another major blow. Trafford and Nico made a mistake in cooperation in the backcourt and were cut off. Risalisson was cleared by one shot. Palinia followed up and shot, 2-0!

Before the end of the first half, Sherky broke through the right cross, and the landing point was just right. Haaland jumped up and headed the ball, rubbing the upper edge of the crossbar. Haaland scored 87 goals in 98 Premier League games, and his goal efficiency was impeccable, but heading was his obvious weakness. In the 54th minute of the change of sides, Guardiola replaced two players in one breath, withdrew Serki and Marmush, and B and Doku went to fight to strengthen the offensive. In the 74th minute, Guardiola let go, Foden and Golden Ball superstar Rodri took the game, and removed the sluggish Bob and Nico.

In the 79th minute, Duoku forced a breakthrough on the left and knocked back with the inverted triangle on the bottom. Fuden surrounded the ball in front of the door and prepared to shoot. Van derfen slipped the shovel in time to complete the key block. In the 83rd minute, Ake made a pass and sent it to the back point. B-shi headed the ball at a low angle, but unfortunately he was getting higher again.

Manchester City lost 0-2, and declared a loss in its first home game of the season. In the past three seasons, it has only won 1 draw and 2 losses. In the last game, Manchester City won 4 goals, and now in front of a team with similar strength, he was immediately beaten back to his original form. The Blue Moon Army's road to reconstruction is still very long.
