Thomas Frank joins Jose Mourinho & Antonio Conte in exclusive club by guiding Tottenham to impressive victory over Pep Guardiola's Man City

Goals from Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha handed Spurs three points against a below-par Man City, and also allowed Thomas Frank to join an illustrious band of three bosses to beat Guardiola away from home with two different team. Frank joins two former Spurs managers to achieve the feat: Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte. 

While Frank's first win was with Brentford back in November 2022, Mourinho achieved the feat of away wins over with Pep with Real Madrid and Manchester United, while Conte enjoyed his victories with Chelsea and Tottenham. 

Tottenham are the first side ever to score the first goal in five consecutive Premier League away games at the Etihad, and only the second to do so away to Manchester City at all in the competition, since Blackburn between 1993 and 2002. 

There will be plenty of soul searching for Guardiola who has now lost 10 times to Tottenham, a record only matched by Liverpool against the Spaniard. There will be additional players leaving the club before the window closes, but the next fixture away at Brighton feels like a must-win.
