Tottenham Hotspur – Manchester City

1. Join Soccernet at 15.00 BST for live commentary as two former England managers do battle.

2. Just one goal in five for City, but Kevin Keegan keeps faith with £19 million strike duo Nicolas Anelka and Robbie Fowler - we'll have to hope for more excitement today

3. Spurs, meanwhile, have an injury crisis as usual, but Sheringham and Keane are fit to lead the attack. Defender Dean Richards, however, is out.

4. City kick off with Robbie Fowler and captain Ali Benarbia.

5. 1'

   They pump the ball forward, Anelka hits a shot from 20 yards and it whistles past Kasey Keller's near post. What a start.

6. 1'

   And another chance for Wright-Phillips - Wright-Phillips is through on goal, but his strange chip goes well over.

7. 2'

   Foe breaks down the right to win a corner - and Spurs are in some sort of disarray already

8. 3'

   GOAL! Sommeil heads in Wroght-Phillips' cross and City get the goal they've been threatening

9. 3'

   Appalling marking from Spurs as Sommeil gets off the mark in City colours

10. 4'

    Well, is Spurs' European push over? Keane looks for an instant response, Barton tackles him

11. 5'

    Spurs get clever, Davies flicking it over his head for Keane, but City scramble it away.

12. 5'

    Poyet has a shot blocked after Anderton's deep cross is headed back by Simon Davies

13. 6'

    Peter Schmeichel punts it forward and there's more confusion in the Spurs defence before Carr takes control to emerge with the ball

14. 7'

    Jensen cuts infield from the left flank and looks to slide a pass through to Fowler, but the striker is offside

15. 8'

    Anderton checks inside to cross, but Benarbia upends him. Free kick near the left touchline

16. 8'

    Anderton whips it in, but Sylvain Distin heads out and the ref blows up for a foul by Poyet

17. 10'

    Richard Dunne looks to get forward down the City right. Taricco tidies up, at the expense of a throw

18. 10'

    Foe wins the header, but Keller claims and Spurs break

19. 10'

    ...and Sheringham hits a half-volley from 25 yards - it's a fine strike, but Schmeichel holds on

20. 11'

    Wright-Phillips and Carr collide with the advertising hoarding as the winger tries to get a cross in. Goal kick

21. 12'

    Anelka escapes from the Spurs defence down the right and finds his strike partner Fowler, but Spurs get a foot in and clear

22. 13'

    Spurs take a free kick quickly and find Keane. Barton covers, but it's a corner

23. 13'

    Anderton takes and Sheringham rises highest, but heads over the bar from 10 yards

24. 14'

    Richard Dunne heads out a Taricco cross and City break with Wright-Phillips

25. 15'

    ... but Anelka tries to be too clever when Fowler is in space

26. 15'

    BOOKING! Poyet is high on Joey Barton and ref Mike Riley reaches for his notebook

27. 16'

    City go forward, but Jensen's over-hit cross goes out for a goal kick

28. 17'

    Anelka's still troubling Spurs and he finds more room on the right flank, but his low cross is easy for Ledley King

29. 18'

    Anelka cuts in from the right and goes for a shot. King gets the block in, but it's a corner

30. 19'

    City take a short corner, Wright-Phillips has a crack from 25 yards and Keller, at full stetch, does well to turn it over the bar

31. 19'

    The second corner comes to less as a poor Dunne pass finds Keller

32. 20'

    GOAL! City are two up and Joey Barton has his first ever goal

33. 20'

    More terrible Spurs defending as Benarbia played in Anelka. His poor shot was parried by Keller, but it came back to Barton and his shot took a deflection on its way in

34. 22'

    Awful defending from Spurs so far - there's no doubt they're missing Dean Richards

35. 23'

    City, understandably, are looking very confident now as Benarbia tries a trick

36. 24'

    Fowler plays a quick one-two with Benarbia, but the City striker is offside as he looks to play in Anelka

37. 25'

    Free kick for City as Carr brings down Jensen 40 yards out

38. 25'

    Benarbia takes, but Taricco clears. Long front man Keane can't hold the ball up against two markers, however.

39. 26'

    Benarbia, pulling the strings, plays a fine pass throught to Jensen, but the Dane's first touch lets him down. Goal kick.

40. 27'

    Robbie Keane wins Spurs a corner as they look to get back into the game. Anderton will take

41. 27'

    The giant Gardner gets up, but can't control his header, though Spurs win the throw

42. 28'

    City think Anelka and Fowler are in again, but it's a free kick as the former has fouled King

43. 29'

    Frustration mounts among the Spurs support as an attack breaks down and City come forward

44. 30'

    Anelka brings down Carr as he looks to sprint past the Spurs full back. The French forward has been lively so far

45. 31'

    Dunne comes striaght through Sheringham from behind - and that's a booking

46. 32'

    Anderton whips in the free kick, but Schmeichel claims comfortably. Sommeil's down hurt, however.

47. 33'

    And a delay in play while the City goalscorer receives treatment. A towel is not stemming the flow of blood so far

48. 34'

    Play restarts with Sommeil back on the pitch. City win a free kick in the Spurs half.

49. 35'

    Gardner heads away the free kick as Spurs cope rather more easily than they were doing earlier

50. 36'

    Barton catches Anderton late. The ref waves play on, but Spurs lose possession when Sheringham's pass goes astray

51. 36'

    And Sheringham's down now, holding his head after a challenge from Sommeil. Free kick is all Mike Riley gives.

52. 37'

    Anderton, as usual, takes the free kick. City clear with ease.

53. 38'

    Taricco catches Anelka's heels as the quick striker looks to set off on another burst

54. 39'

    The giant Gardner heads away Benarbia's free kick but City attack again as Wright-Phillips looks for Anelka, though Keller claims

55. 40'

    BOOKING! It's Joey Barton, possible for persistent foulding. A chance for Spurs with a free kick on the edge of the box

56. 41'

    Anderton hits it, but his rather tame effort rebounds off the wall. Spurs work it back to Keane, who hammers over from wide out.

57. 42'

    Anderton spreads play superbly to Keane. He Lays it back to Carr, but his cross is too near Schmeichel.

58. 43'

    A poor pass from Keane goes straight to Wright-Phillips, and it's rather symptomatic of a poor half from the home side

59. 44'

    The ball breaks to Sheringham in space 30 yards out, but he tries to be too clever and spread it to Taricco - and the pass is just over-hit

60. 45'

    Fowler wins a corner off King and / or Gardner as City finish the half on the attack.

61. 45'

    Spurs head out, but Barton tries a chip back over the advancing defence. Foe, onside, is close to it, but Keller claims.

62. 45'

    And at the other end, Barton fouls Poyet 30 yards out. Yet another free kick for Spurs - can Anderton deliver now?

63. 45'

    Not really as Distin heads away, and Spurs' chance to score on the stroke of half time appears to have gone

64. 45'

    Half time and the boos greet Riley's whistle. A superb half for City, an awful one for Spurs - and it's 2-0 to the visitors.

65. 46'

    Double change for Spurs - Chris Perry on for Taricco and Bunjevcevic goes off as the Japanese World Cup star Kazuyuki Toda comes on.

66. 46'

    It's a debut for Toda - can he help Spurs turn it round as Sheringham kicks off?

67. 46'

    Simon Davies is playing as a left wing-hback as Spurs switch to 3-5-2. Keane has an early shot, and the defender blocks.

68. 46'

    Toda announces himself by chopping down Wroght-Phillips straight away.

69. 47'

    Taricco, for the record has a calf problem, the other change was tactical after Spurs' dismal first half.

70. 48'

    Davies beats Dunne for pace, but the bulky Irishman uses his pace to hold off the Welshman.

71. 49'

    Keane uses his close control to hold off two and he lays it back to Poyet, whose drive from 12 yards is well held by Schmeichel.

72. 50'

    Free kick for Spurs in City's half. They take it quickly, but City intercept and Wright-Phillips lead the counter-attack.

73. 51'

    Wright-Phillips hacks down Teddy Sheringham and Mike Riley reaches for his yellow card again.

74. 51'

    Once again, Spurs' set piece has no impact and City can clear.

75. 52'

    Anelka takes on Perry and wins City a corner

76. 53'

    Toda tries a 50-yard pass... and it nearly hits the corner flag.

77. 54'

    Jensen is forced to head over his own bar from an Anderton cross after Gardner dispossessed Sommeil.

78. 54'

    But it's an awful corner, which goes behind for a goal kick.

79. 55'

    Keller has to dash out of his box to kick away from Anelka after more confusion at the back from Spurs.

80. 56'

    Great defending from Sommeil as he uses his strength to hold off the dangerous Poyet, who is trying to get a shot in.

81. 57'

    Benarbia flicks the ball over his head to escape Toda, but his cross is straight at Keller and easy for the keeper

82. 58'

    Davies' far-post cross has just too much weight on it and Sheringham can't quite reach.

83. 58'

    Keane is surprised to be given offside from Anderton's pass as Spurs look to push forward again.

84. 59'

    Keane's clever backheel finds Davies, who turns inside his man to cross... and Sheringham misses his kick at the far post.

85. 60'

    Toda, an increasing presence, looks for Davies and Dunne is forced to concede a throw.

86. 61'

    Schmeichel's poor clearance just avoids Keane and hits Sommeil

87. 62'

    Fowler wins a free kick near the corner flag for tugging by Gardner.

88. 63'

    Sheringham heads away at the near post and Spurs break quickly.

89. 63'

    ...but Davies can't quite keep it in play on the left flank.

90. 64'

    City attack, Anelka avoids Perry's challenge and cuts it back for Fowler, who turns his marker and shoots on his right foot - and Keller, at full stretch clings on

91. 66'

    Spurs have been better so far in this half, but 20 minutes of decent football have not produced a goal so far.

92. 66'

    Distin dispossesses Keane as the striker tries to find a way through.

93. 67'

    Poyet flicks on Carr's cross and it falls to Sheringham at the far post... and he miscues again.

94. 68'

    Toda gets stuck in well to rob Foe, but City retrieve the ball and Anelka fires in a shot from 30 yards, but it's well wide.

95. 69'

    Barton brings down Keane after the Irishman won the ball. Toda wastefully hits the free kick over the bar

96. 70'

    Wright-Phillips plays a onw-two with Benarbia as he tries to find a way through. There is none.

97. 71'

    Spurs get forward and win a corner, but Distin beats Perry to the header.

98. 71'

    Spurs' fans shout for handball against Foe after a Toda cross. The players, however, do not join in.

99. 72'

    Final change for Spurs. Milenko Acimovic comes on, Gus Poyet goes off.

100. 72'

     It breaks to Keane in the box, he hits it first time and Schmeichel blocks well with his legs. What a chance.

101. 74'

     Benarbia tries to find Dunne in the box, but left wing back Davies is covering back well.

102. 74'

     Wright-Phillips turns well and puts a low cross in. Gardner is happy to concede a corner

103. 75'

     ... which Jensen takes and Wright-Phillips himself wins the header, though he can't hit the target

104. 76'

     Keane is flagged offside again, and time is running out for Spurs.

105. 77'

     Perry is angered with the ref as Riley rules the Spurs defender has conceded a corner, which Benarbia will take.

106. 79'

     Barton looks in some pain as Anderton, albeit unintentionally, catches him with a late tackle.

107. 80'

     Barton returns as Carr takes Spurs forward. But Fowler, deep in his own half, ends the attack as he disposses Toda.

108. 81'

     City break with Wright-Phillips and then Benarbia finds Barton, who shoots - and King makes a crucial block

109. 81'

     The excellent Fowler departs as the lesser-seen Jon Macken replaces him.

110. 82'

     Meanwhile, Darren Anderton receives treatment. He should be ok to continue - and Spurs have no more subs, anyway.

111. 82'

     Foe wins a flick-on from a long throw, and Spurs concede another corner.

112. 83'

     It comes back to Barton, but he can't find room to shoot and the move breaks down.

113. 84'

     Gardner leads a break forward from Spurs. He evades a couple of defenders before being stopped.

114. 85'

     Anderton whips in a long cross which Davies heads back into the danger area, but Toda can't get a touch.

115. 85'

     Jensen finds Anelka looking for a third City goal, but the linesman rules he controlled the ball with his hand.

116. 86'

     Carr catches Wright-Phillips with his boot as they both slide for a challenge - and Mike Riley books him.

117. 88'

     The game is petering out now, Spurs having failed to find the goal that would have set up a grandstand finish.

118. 89'

     Wright-Phillips heads for the corner flag. Perry gets a touch, and it is another City corner, which comes to nothing.

119. 89'

     Anderton whips in another cross, Sheringham and Sommeil challenge for it, and it's a corner.

120. 90'

     Acimovic crosses and yet again there's a City head - in this case, Dunne's - on the end of it.

121. 91'

     Spurs are still struggling to find a way through, though Davies wins a corner from Dunne.

122. 92'

     And Acimovic wins another before Dunne clears.

123. 93'

     Carr hits a long pass to Sheringham, but he misjudges the flight and City get it away.

124. 93'

     And that's it - one of City's best performances of the season and one of Spurs' worst. Tottenham improved in the second half but Peter Schmeichel's saves earned him a clean sheet and goals from David Sommeil and Joey Barton earned City their 2-0 win.
