Keegan: critics can eat words

Tottenham 0 Manchester City 2

Sommeil opened the scoring when he headed home Ali Bernarbia's third minute corner, while Barton pounced on a loose ball after 20 minutes to score his first goal for the club. City might have had four or five had their finishing been better.

After some poor performances and results in recent weeks, Keegan was delighted with his team's first away win of the year and first victory at White Hart Lane since the Premier League was formed.
