78 min GOAL! City 1-4 Jovetic
Stevan Jovetic hits his first City goal. Fernandinho played a lovely raking pass to Jovetic on the left.
Although he was running away from goal he cut inside and took a shot that took a large deflection and the ball bounces past Hart.

Dzeko shoots low from 25 yards. It’s deflected but his shot is soft and easily stopped.

69 mins 1-3 City
Zabaleta pulls the ball back for Dzeko, but the striker chips over harmlessly.
I must say Zabaleta is different class as ever. If there’s a better player in his position in England please let me know.
Tough, pacy, tactically aware with the heart of a warrior.

City knocking it around with arrogance.
The game appears to have dropped in intensity.
How could it not after the first frantic two thirds of it?!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City: EPL live scores, blog
65 mins 1-3 City
Dzeko should have scored there.
Clichy, who has been getting abuse for being an ex Arsenal man whipped the ball to Dzeko’s who took it down from his chest nicely.
But then fires well over from 12 yards.

Naughton is booked for a foul on Navas

63 mins 1-3 City
Nastasic comes on for Toure.
City’s midfielder takes his time to walk off, which sees Adebayor lumber over to manhandle him off the pitch.
Could have kicked off there but the players saw sense there and it all calmed down.

Incidentally it looked like Fernandinho tried to stop Capoue’s shot with his hands. If he had got a hand to it he would have been off surely.
Think that sums up both teams night.

The ball flies around the box after a corner in the box before Capoue, despite lying on his backside, fires a shot past Hart.

White Hart Lane is a very quiet place at the moment bar the 3,000 delirious City fans.

Man City have now matched their Premier League goal total from 2012-13, with 15 matches remaining after tonight.
Spurs to be fair are not crumbling yet.

Edin Dzeko has now scored six goals in six appearances against Tottenham in the Premier League; more than against any other side

55 mins 0-3 City
This is what I thought Sherwood should have done as soon as Rose was sent off.
Kyle Naughton has come on for Sigurdsson now – you could argue five minutes too late.

It’s all happening at White Hart Lane.
Zabaleta overlapped down the left where Danny Rose used to be.
He passes to Silva who moves past his man and fires a shot on to the post which Dzeko, six yards out, taps in.
The Spurs players look crestfallen..

The crowd is furious as ten man Spurs need to concentrate.
Should Sherwood be more proactive in putting on a defender for an attacker against such an attacking City side?

51 mins 0-2 City
Confident Toure sidefoots the penalty into the right-hand side.
0-2 City.
The night is going to be even longer for Spurs now.

Yaya Toure penalty.

48 mins 0-1 City
It looked like referee wasn’t going to give the penalty, but the linesman insisted.
As a result he’s had no option but to send Rose off.
I’d have to say that’s a poor decision.

47 mins 0-1 City
Rose is sent off. It looked a harsh penalty.
And now he’s been sent off. Nightmare for Spurs.
Who’s going to take it? Looks like Toure.

Rose in on Dzeko who crumpled to the floor in the box.
Harsh as it looked like he may have got a little on the ball.

FULL TIME Spurs 1-5 City
It’s White Hart Pain for Spurs as City make it 11-1 on aggregate this term.
City were well worth the win yet Spurs could legitimately claim the Dawson “goal”, a contentious penalty and red card.
Yet even with those incidents City were by far the best team for the entire game and as such thoroughly deserved their win.
City go back to the top, Arsenal stay second with Chelsea third, having surprisingly drawn 0-0 at Stamford Bridge against West Ham United.
Thanks for joining me as ever. Stay tuned to The Roar to see the next instalment of this hugely intriguing Premier League race.
Cheers
