Hossam Ghaly was, as expected, dropped
for the game following his behaviour in Tottenham's
last match. Mido once again did not feature.
Robbie Keane opened the scoring for Spurs in the tenth
minute, volleying into the back of the net after a super
move involving Berbatov and Jenas. Manchester City threatened
an equaliser on a number of occasions, Vassell notably
forcing a great save from Paul Robinson.
However, Berbatov continued his goalscoring form with
Tottenham's second on 32 minutes with a low shot into
the near post. City pulled a goal back eight minutes
later when Emile Mpenza headed past Robinson.
Manchester City continued to press in the second half,
forcing more good saves from Robinson. However, late
on, Dunne's tackle on Zokora, which looked to be outside
the box, was deemed a penalty and gave Spurs the chance
to extend their lead. Isaksson denied Defoe, saving
the penalty, before Defoe hit the rebound over.

With this 2-1 result, and with Everton failing to beat Chelsea,
Tottenham claim fifth place in the Premier League, as they
did last season. This excellent achievement, finishing just
behind the 'big four' gives them a place in the UEFA Cup,
as well as greater league ambitions for next season.
More on Spurs, and on the future of Mido and Ghaly, soon
on EP...
