MANCHESTER CITY players were booed off by their fans following their poor first half showing against Tottenham.
The Premier League champions failed to take control of the game and went in at the break behind.
Dejan Kulusevski was able to capitalise on poor play from goalkeeper Ederson and midfielder Rodri to give Spurs the lead.
And it got worse for City before the break as Emerson Royal headed the visitors into a two-goal lead.
At the half time whistle boos could be heard from the home fans.
Sky Sports pundit David Jones said: “They were booed off Micah, I can’t remember hearing that here.”
