Thomas Frank pleased with Spurs scorer Palhinha
Pep Guardiola defended selecting James Trafford ahead of Ederson and said Manchester City lost 2-0 to Tottenham because “we missed the simple things”.
Ederson was a substitute at the Etihad Stadium and a sloppy ball from Trafford led to João Palhinha scoring Spurs’ second goal at the end of the first half. The 22-year-old goalkeeper, who rejoined City from Burnley for £31m this summer, tried to find Nico González, but passed instead to Pape Matar Sarr, the ball eventually reaching Palhinha.
