Shaky City escape to victory once again

Man City 2 Tottenham 1

Twenty-four hours after United’s remarkable late win at Vila Park, the “noisy neighbours” proved Fergie and company do not own the copyright on these late, remarkable comebacks. Trailing to a first-half header from Spurs defender Steven Caulker, City levelled midway through the second half but were in danger of dropping two points against a Spurs side which has already won at Old Trafford this season.

But, with two minutes remaining, David Silva threaded through a perfectly-timed ball for Dzeko’s perfectly-timed run and the City forward converted with a magnificent shot on the turn from seven yards.
