Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has dig at title rivals Tottenham as he labels them as ‘the Harry Kane team’
The Citizens manager has claimed that Spurs are a one-man team and rely solely on the performances of star striker Harry Kane
PEP GUARDIOLA has taken a swipe at title rivals Tottenham – brandishing them as ‘the Harry Kane team’.
The Manchester City boss has made a sly dig at Spurs after their star man netted another brace in their 4-0 win over Huddersfield Town.
City – who sit top of the table after their 1-0 away win against Chelsea thanks to Kevin De Bruyne’s wonder strike – are in superb form this season.
And Guardiola couldn’t resist taking a dig at Maurcio Pochettino‘s side as they sit five points above the Lilywhites.
He said: “We’re in September. Chelsea won 13 games in a row last season. They were unbeatable, they won the league. It’s not easy.
“Of course this season they play in Europe. It’s a little more complicated for all the teams.
“We have United [and] the Harry Kane team who scores every game two or three goals.
“Jose with United will always be tough. That is a Jose Mourinho team, aggressive winning duels and so quick on the counter attack.
“They are already convinced they can do it in this way. It will be tough.”
Kane notched up 13 goals for club and country in September and was applauded by Terries fans as he made his way off the pitch at the John Smith’s Stadium.
Despite the ex-Barcelona boss’ claims Tottenham rely solely on the England striker, Spurs beat City 2-0 at White Hart Lane this season without their main man.
Guardiola also refused to include Arsenal and Liverpool as clubs who will be challenging for the Premier League crown this campaign.
