MATCH REPORT: No Harry Kane? No problem for Nuno, Son and Co as the champions slip up on the opening weekend.
End of 2nd Half
90+6'
FT: Spurs 1-0 Man City. Son Heung-Min struck a second-half winner as Nuno Espirito Santo's era started with a victory over the champions. City, who gave a PL bow to Grealish, showed why they are in the market for a striker while their target, Harry Kane was not included in the Lilywhites squad.

City continue to probe. De Bruyne is at the heart of their best work but Spurs and Lloris are mopping it all up when it comes into the box at the moment. Can they manufacture one big chance late in the day?

SAVE! De Bruyne lets fly from 25 yards out but Lloris watches it all the way and pushes it to safety.

Nuno must be delighted with this display. Pep has plenty to ponder.

City attempt to pick out Cancelo on the edge of the box from a corner, but it's too high and he ends up ballooning a header over the top. He clearly wanted to strike a volley there.

Grealish flashes a shot straight at Lloris after a lovely through ball from Jesus had found him on the left side of the area.

City only half clear a free kick from the right but Lucas Moura's shot on the turn is well blocked. How Spurs would love the cushion of that second goal.
73'
City doing a good job of showing Kane just why they need a striker here. Spurs have wasted some situations he'd have loved to be in the middle for too.

It's a well worked free kick. Gundogan works it wide to Cancelo who drills a low ball into the six-yard box, but Torres somehow can't convert.
