And we’re off for the second half.

Capoue on for Dembele in the second half which is just about to start.
Presumably to slot in alongside Bentaleb.

HT 0-1 City
The news is that it’s an extremely small tear in Aguero’s hamstring – possibly 3 weeks out at the moment.
Which means he will be borderline for City’s first leg CL clash with Barca.
Could have been worse for him and City though as it looked serious when he went down clutching it.

HT 0-1 City
Surprisingly Chelsea are drawing 0-0 at Stamford Bridge against West Ham.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City: EPL live scores, blog
HT 0-1 City
They say stats lie. These ones don’t:
59% City possession first half.
13 shots on target to Spurs 2.

HT 0-1 City
The second half could be an aggressive affair if the first half proves any indication.
Spurs for their part shored up their defence somewhat after City’s rampant start, but the Mancunian’s high tempo pressing when they don’t have the ball, and their world class attacking when they do is simply on a different level.

HALF TIME Spurs 0-1 City
City looked world class at times but it’s been very fractious between times.
The Citizens must be concerned about the injury to Aguero’s hamstring.
I would imagine Dawson, who had been tormented by him up till then, less so.

The invisible Lennon suddenly flies down the left but he loses control which sees Hart move to smother.

Three minutes of added time.

Jovetic gets an insight in how tempestuous this game has become.
He wins a free kick after Adebayor bundles him over. For good measure Danny Rose kicks the ball at his face.
Demichelis heads the cross over the bar.

Stevan Jovetic comes on in the Argentine’s place.

It looks like Aguero’s hamstring has gone. This could be a blow for City. And not just for tonight.

It’s all happening here.
Aguero chasing a ball with Dawson suddenly clutches the back of his leg and flops down on the halfway line.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City: EPL live scores, blog
41 mins 0-1 City
Demichelis’s knee is now leaking claret.
In other words it is bleeding heavily.
This is getting tasty, the second half may see more scores settled as everyone seems to have forgotten about playing football at the moment.

41 mins 0-1 City
Now Aguero is booked for dissent.

Adebayor then plants his studs on the prone Demichelis’s knee.

The booking was for Demichelis who slid on late on Adebayor.

CORRECTION: no booking for Dawson.

Aguero goes down after Dawson catches him with a trailing arm. Booking for Dawson.

The game is becoming fractious.

What were we saying about it not being Spurs night?
Eriksen floats in an enticing free kick which sees Dawson volleys the ball into the net.
Unfortunately for the 1961 Double Winners Adebayor was standing in an offside position next to him and the goals is correctly chalked off.
Still 0-1 City.

Eriksen directs a free kick from deep into the box. It goes out of the box. And into the stands.
It’s that kind of night for the Lillywhites.

Yaya Toure is rightly booked for a late tackle on Dembele’s ankle.

Aguero in space in the area tees up Silva for a deflected shot. From the corner Dzeko has a shout from handball from his volley as the ball hits Bentaleb.
Very lucky not to be a penalty for City there.

Spurs will be looking to feed Rose down the left who was arguably one of their best performers in that frenetic first half.
