Play by play
- 94'
<b>FULL TIME</b> Wow. City make a huge statement of intent by battering Spurs at home. Dzeko was immense, Silva elegant and Nasri quietly effective. Title contenders? You bet.
- 93'
What a day he's had. That is top quality, he curls a left-footed shot into the top corner from Barry's lay off. Pure class.

- 86'
Dawson, in an advanced position, strikes a shot a good ten yards wide of the target to much groaning around the stadium.

City's fans getting the "ole" out as their team keep the ball.

Nasri nearly feeds Dzeko his fourth - a nice cut back, a firm shot and a smart save from Friedel.
- 82'
A standard free kick given against Crouch for wrapping his arms round Lescott.
- 81'
A nice run from Bale and an expert cut inside but Richards manages to take the sting out of the shot before it reaches Hart.

Silva very nearly gets a goal as Nasri clips in a lovely ball but he was off balance as he struck it and slices it wide.

The game has gone very quiet.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Savic was booked for his introduction too - one of the strangest cards you'll ever see. Presumably it was for time wasting.
- 75'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> An odd introduction for Stefan Savic as he he runs on before Aguero has gone off. He is forced to retreat back to the touchline to wait for Aguero to come off.
- 74'
Van der Vaart stretched for a ball a moment ago and he's walked straight down the tunnel. Spurs down to ten for the rest of the game it looks like.

Another effort on goal from Defoe, this one is blocked.
