Spurs v Man City: Manuel Pellegrini
If he's thinking about the 6-0 drubbing his team dished out to Spurs at the Etihad earlier in the season then it's no wonder Manuel Pellegrini looks quietly confident ahead of kick-off Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
Spurs v Man City: Dzeko and Chiriches clash
The visitors are having the lion's share of the opening exchanges as Vlad Chiriches found out when he clased with Edin Dzeko. City deservedly took the lead in the 17th minute when Sergio Aguero received the ball, then took a step into the area, drew Lloris off his line, and dinked a gorgeous finish across the keeper and into the bottom left Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
Spurs v Man City: Michael Dawson goal is ruled out for offside
Ten minutes before half-time Christian Eriksen whips in a free-kick towards the far post and Michael Dawson volleys the ball into the net. Spurs think they have equalised until they spot that the linesman has raised his flag for offside. It's a very close decision and Spurs are no doubt feeling aggrieved Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian

Spurs v Man City: Edin Dzeko is fouled by Danny Rose
There's more controversy at the start of the second half when Edin Dzeko is fouled by Danny Rose inside the area. Fernandino powered down the middle of the park, and slipped the ball forward for Dzeko, who crumbled pitifully over the outstretched leg of Rose, the full back poking the ball out for a corner. The referee wasn't going to give the penalty, but the linesman insists, and as a result he's got no option but to send Rose off Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
Spurs v Man City: Yaya Toure scores from the penalty spot

Spurs v Man City: Edin Dzeko celebrates the 3rd City goal
Just two minuts later it's 3-0 to City. Navas, on the right-hand edge of the area, slips a ball forward to Zabaleta on the overlap. He rolls a low cross inside to Silva, who drops a shoulder and hammers a shot towards the Spurs goal. Lloris turns the shot onto the left-hand post, stunningly so, but it rebounds to Dzeko, who flips a sidefooter into the right-hand side of the net Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
Spurs v Man City: Manchester City players celebrate
Dzeko is soon caught up by his team-mates who join in the celebrations. Then just before the hour mark Tottenham's Etienne Capoue batters a loose ball into the net and pulls a goal back Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
Spurs v Man City: Vincent Kompany celebrates scoring the 5th City goal
Stevan Jovetic adds a fourth via a deflection before Vincent Kompany rubs salt into Spurs' wounds by prodding the ball home when it lands at his feet after Dzeko's shot is blocked Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
Spurs v Man City: Hugo Lloris
It's no wonder Spurs's keeper Hugo Lloris looks dejected, he's just shipped in five goals. Spurs boss Tim Sherwood was probably just as dejected after Spur's first Premier League defeat under his reign. Final score: Tottenham 1-5 Manchester City Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
