Who won: Man City 2-0

Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 on Friday, April 18, 2003 at White Hart Lane. Goals for Man City: David Sommeil (3') and Joey Barton (21').

Play by play

  1. 93'

    And that's it - one of City's best performances of the season and one of Spurs' worst. Tottenham improved in the second half but Peter Schmeichel's saves earned him a clean sheet and goals from David Sommeil and Joey Barton earned City their 2-0 win.

  2. 93'

    Carr hits a long pass to Sheringham, but he misjudges the flight and City get it away.

  3. 92'

    And Acimovic wins another before Dunne clears.

  4. 91'

    Spurs are still struggling to find a way through, though Davies wins a corner from Dunne.

  5. 90'

    Acimovic crosses and yet again there's a City head - in this case, Dunne's - on the end of it.

  6. 89'

    Anderton whips in another cross, Sheringham and Sommeil challenge for it, and it's a corner.

  7. 89'

    Wright-Phillips heads for the corner flag. Perry gets a touch, and it is another City corner, which comes to nothing.

  8. 88'

    The game is petering out now, Spurs having failed to find the goal that would have set up a grandstand finish.

  9. 86'

    Carr catches Wright-Phillips with his boot as they both slide for a challenge - and Mike Riley books him.

  10. 85'

    Jensen finds Anelka looking for a third City goal, but the linesman rules he controlled the ball with his hand.

  11. 85'

    Anderton whips in a long cross which Davies heads back into the danger area, but Toda can't get a touch.

  12. 84'

    Gardner leads a break forward from Spurs. He evades a couple of defenders before being stopped.

  13. 83'

    It comes back to Barton, but he can't find room to shoot and the move breaks down.

  14. 82'

    Foe wins a flick-on from a long throw, and Spurs concede another corner.

  15. 82'

    Meanwhile, Darren Anderton receives treatment. He should be ok to continue - and Spurs have no more subs, anyway.

  16. 81'

    The excellent Fowler departs as the lesser-seen Jon Macken replaces him.

  17. 81'

    City break with Wright-Phillips and then Benarbia finds Barton, who shoots - and King makes a crucial block

  18. 80'

    Barton returns as Carr takes Spurs forward. But Fowler, deep in his own half, ends the attack as he disposses Toda.

  19. 79'

    Barton looks in some pain as Anderton, albeit unintentionally, catches him with a late tackle.

  20. 77'

    Perry is angered with the ref as Riley rules the Spurs defender has conceded a corner, which Benarbia will take.

  21. 76'

    Keane is flagged offside again, and time is running out for Spurs.

  22. 75'

    ... which Jensen takes and Wright-Phillips himself wins the header, though he can't hit the target

  23. 74'

    Wright-Phillips turns well and puts a low cross in. Gardner is happy to concede a corner

  24. 74'

    Benarbia tries to find Dunne in the box, but left wing back Davies is covering back well.

  25. 72'

    It breaks to Keane in the box, he hits it first time and Schmeichel blocks well with his legs. What a chance.
