Play by play

Referee Jonathan Moss gave four penalties during the game, and Spurs will feel aggrieved at a fair few of the decisions today - Mauricio Pochettino's press conference should be fun - but it's City who pick up three deserved points.
That's full-time, and Man City eventually ease to a 4-1 victory over Spurs! The visitors were in the game up until Roberto Soldado's penalty miss, but four goals from Sergio Aguero - including two from the penalty spot - have put Manuel Pellegrini's side within two points of Chelsea.
90'
Danny Rose goes down under a shove from Kompany and Spurs appeal for another penalty - that would have been the fifth of the game, but Moss is, for once, unmoved at the opportunity to point to the spot.
90'
It's Townsend who strikes it straight into the wall - he's been disappointing since coming on.
90'
We're into three minutes of added time, and Chadli wins a free kick 25 yards out. Can Eriksen add a consolation goal?
90'
It's been a tough day for Spurs, who looked dangerous up until Soldado's penalty miss. That would have turned the game on its head, but the difference today has been the strikers - City have one who take his chances, and Spurs have one who simply doesn't.
88'
Sergio Aguero wants five, but gets tackled as he shapes to shoot - he really should have fed Jovetic who was open, but he's not about to start passing today!
87'
OFF THE POST! Milner bends a lovely effort at goal from 25 yards, but the ball cannons back off the woodwork and to safety!
86'
Only two City players have scored four goals in a single Premier League game according to Opta Sports - Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko - and both against Spurs. Dear oh dear...
84'
Jovetic puts Milner through with a lovely flicked pass, but the England midfielder's weak header is easily cleared. City could put Spurs to the sword, but seem content to see this one out now.
82'
The tempo has lowed in the last few minutes, with City taking a slight breather and Spurs, understandably, letting them do so.
80'
Townsend as barely made an impact since coming on, and swerves a fierce effort from 25 yards over the bar. It's surely damage limitation for Spurs now.
79'
Jesus Navas s teed up by Toure on the right wing and volleys in a cross, but Lloris is quickly out to meet it. What must the France No.1 be thinking? Spurs will do well to keep hold of him beyond this season if things carry on.
77'
Kaboul tries to dribble the ball out of defence and loses possession in defensive midfield, but Rose is alert and prevents a potential fifth - that is simply ridiculous play from Spurs' captain.
76'
Just what Spurs need - Yaya Toure has replaced Fernando.
75'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> GOAL IT'S FOUR FOR AGUERO! What a performance from the City striker, who bursts onto a through-ball down the right flank, cuts inside Jan Vertonghen and curls a beauty of a shot into the far corner of Lloris' net with his weaker left foot - stunning!
73'
Christian Eriksen has a chance to reduce the deficit here, but strikes a weak free kick straight into the City wall.
71'
Any glimmer of hope for Spurs has surely now disappeared, as errors at both ends of the field - well, from both penalty spots at least - have cost them today.
69'
According to Opta Sports, this is only the second game in Premier League history to see the award of four penalties - after Bradford vs. Derby in 2000.
68'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> GOAL AGUERO FINALLY HAS HIS HAT TRICK! Aguero steps up for his third spot kick of the afternoon, and puts it exactly in the same spot as his first, sending Lloris the wrong way again.
66'
ANOTHER PENALTY TO CITY! That's the fourth of the game, and Fazio is sent off! Rose makes a mistake on the wing and Navas crosses low, but Aguero is seemingly pulled back by Fazio, who is given his marching orders...<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/red_card.jpg" height="15">
64'
Fantastic save from Hart! The City goalkeeper brilliantly denies Soldado by stopping his ow 10-yard volley with a top stop with his body. Great reactions, and City survive...
63'
That was the chance for Soldado to add to his solitary Premier League strike this calendar year, but his nightmare continues.
62'
HART SAVES FROM SOLDADO! The Spanish striker steps up and strokes the ball towards goal, but the City keeper plunges to his right and tips away the weak effort! That is abysmal from Soldado - he telegraphed where he was putting that one.
61'
PENALTY TO SPURS! The visitors finally have their spot kick as Soldado is tripped by Martin Demichelis on the edge of the area - contact was minimal, but Moss points to the spot for the third time today!
