Red-hot Robbie seals Spurs win

Man City 0 Tottenham 2

A Sylvain Distin blunder gifted Mido the opportunity to sign off in style ahead of his African Nations Cup commitments with Egypt and City had long since run out of ideas when Robbie Keane lashed home his seventh goal of the campaign.

While the result sends Jol’s side into the New Year with a firm belief they can land that cherished top-four spot at the expense of a side they have lived in the shadow of for so long, for City boss Stuart Pearce January promises to be a difficult month.
