Tottenham 2 - 1 City
It seems to be the first defeat for City this season. But judging by Pep's satisfied face, he is completely satisfied to miss unimportant games here and concentrate on other tournaments. City were eliminated very early last year too.
By the way, despite the modest score, it was not a tough equal fight, Tottenham should have scored at least one more goal, while City did not have any more chances.
Guardiola does not consider today's EFL Cup match an important match. That's why Guardiola rested key players in the squad today. Champions League and Premier League matches are more important for Guardiola. So in today's match, City played their second tier squad.
However, the overall performance of Tottenham players was quite good in today's match. Tottenham took a 2-1 lead in the first half. Tottenham's players managed to have only 31% of the ball possession in the match. But every attack from Tottenham's players was strong. City's inexperienced players failed to counter the attacks of Tottenham's players.
