On a rainy Wednesday evening in North London, visitors Man City were able to push Spurs aside in a thrilling 5-1 victory. The Northern club were able to go ahead in the 15th minute thanks to a goal from Aguero, who picked up a stunning pass from Silva through a stroke of pace. It wasn’t until the second half that the action continued in terms of the scoreline, as Rose was shown a red card for bringing down Dzeko in the penalty area during the 49th minute, with Toure immediately stepping up to the spot and placing the ball into the back of the net.
Matters seemed to only be getting worse for Tottenham, as Dzeko made sure it was 3-0 from a close range effort. Just five minutes later, Capoue grabbed a consolation goal for the home side, which gave them plenty of hope even with one man short. However, City’s supremacy paid off shortly after, as Jovetic sealed his first Premier League goal from the left-hand side of the pitch. The final action of the game gave Kompany a chance to make it 5-1 by reacting to a blocked shot from Dzeko and pushing it into the goal.
Man City now top the Premier League by one point ahead of Arsenal, as a disappointing result from Spurs leaves them in fifth and three point behind Liverpool.
