Pep Guardiola said Kevin De Bruyne is not yet playing at his top level.

He has 9 assists, four clear of Alex Iwobi in second & his expected assists total is 5.05, almost double second-placed Kieran Trippier.

But is Guardiola right?

Half-time: 0-2

Well, that has been quite the first half, hasn't it?

have been excellent, have had 52% of the ball & have forced Lloris into 2 errors. Wilson's finish was sublime & Almiron's goal was excellent.

Spurs, & home fans, appear shellshocked.
