Manchester City Feels the Spurs

The Premiership's early leaders weren't surprised they had pursuers on their heels.

They just didn't realize it'd be sharp heels digging into their unbeaten streak.

The league's perennial dark horse -- none other than Tottenham Hotspur -- put paid to its last unbeaten side, blanking Manchester City, 2-0.

Those were the money moments, of course, but Manchester City was thoroughly outplayed and outsmarted in this one.

And Spurs don't look to get dumber any time soon.
