Sergio injury fails to halt five-star City’s surge

Tottenham 1 Manchester City 5

Manuel Pellegrini’s free-scoring side hit five more goals with Sergio Aguero (who was replaced just before half-time with a hamstring injury), Yaya Toure (penalty), Edin Dzeko, Stevan Jovetic and skipper Vincent Kompany all scoring with Etienne Capoue’s second-half effort a mere consolation for Spurs.

This five-star show at White Hart Lane allowed City to storm to the summit, one point above Arsenal.
