So job done for City in the end there. After a lacklustre first-half display they came fighting back and ultimately deserved the three points. Spurs tried to hang on but just failed to do so. Performances from Aguero, Silva and Toure proved to be the difference.

Penalty shout for Spurs as Defoe is played through on goal. Clichy does well to close him down but appears to bring him down in the box. I have seen them given.

You have to say that goal was coming. In the run-up to that goal Vertonghen was caught out of position again. He has been poor in these closing stages of the game.
- 88'
Silva spots Dzeko with a fantastic dinked pass into the box and the striker does brilliantly to smash home his effort past the helpless Friedel. Fine goal.
