Djed Spence has fired a brutal dig at a Manchester City player after Tottenham's 2-0 win over Pep Guardiola's side at the Etihad Stadium.

Spurs star Spence was part of the defence that kept their second consecutive clean sheet this season after last weekend's 3-0 victory over Burnley.

Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha both got on the scoresheet for Thomas Frank's side in Manchester.

Palhinha capitalised on an error from City's new £27 million goalkeeper James Trafford, who was preferred to Ederson in the starting XI.

The hosts had relatively few clear-cut chances throughout the 90 minutes, though Guglielmo Vicario pulled off a good save to deny Omar Marmoush with the scores at 0-0.

It is two wins out of two for Spurs, with City failing to build on their 4-0 thrashing of Wolves last weekend.

Spence, who is a natural right-back but was moved to the opposite flank by Ange Postecoglou last season after an injury to Destiny Udogie, again lined up at left-back at the Etihad Stadium amid Udogie's latest absence.

Taking to Instagram, he posted a series of photos from the game alongside the caption: "Bring me your favourite winger #GODSPEED."

Spence was up against Oscar Bobb, and City right-back Rico Lewis, during the game, with neither attacking player having any significant impact on proceedings at the Etihad Stadium.

Thomas Frank on Spurs win over Man City

Speaking after the game, Spurs boss Frank praised his side's performance: "It was a real team performance. So happy with the performance and the win.

"The goal changed a bit of momentum, and since the goal I think we were on top for more or less the rest of the game.

"The second half, exceptional. The way we came out, still wanting to play, still wanting to open up, high pressure, really aggressive. That, I'm really proud of.

"Then, of course, the clean sheet mentality. The clean sheet is really important, because it's then easier to win football matches. Big credit to the staff and the players - the high pressure, middle pressure, lower block, defending the box... so important. Last year was six clean sheets, and we need to keep going."
