  1. HALF-TIMEpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Tottenham fans may be scratching their heads as they queue for their half-time balti pie, wondering how their team are behind. The answer? Sergio Aguero's finishing. The little Argentine is battling Spurs top scorer Harry Kane for the Premier League golden boot and he goes two clear of the England international, with his 22nd top-flight strike this season. And that has proved the difference.

    David Pleat at White Hart Lane
    Former Tottenham manager on BBC Radio 5 live:

    "It has been a good half for Tottenham they have played very well, had four chances and are slightly unfortunate to be behind from a splendid Aguero goal. It has been a bright and breezy half, Pochettino will be more than pleased with the performance but not pleased with the scoreline."

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    No more action of note before ref Andre Marriner calls time on an enthralling first half. Time for everyone playing, officiating and watching to catch breath. City lead through Sergio Aguero's clinical strike.

  5. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    Spurs midfielder Ryan Mason is the first name to be noted by ref Andre Marriner, going into the book for a late lunge on opposite number Fernandinho.

  6. INJURY TIMEpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    The fourth official steps forward to the touchline, hoisting his electronic board aloft to reveal one minute of stoppage time.

    Another golden chance for Spurs! Harry Kane turns provider, floating in a sumptuous ball to Ryan Mason, who escapes the City offside trap. But Joe Hart stands tall, arms spread like Peter Schmeichel, to block. How have they not scored?!

    City counter, but Fernandinho drags low shot wide of the left-hand post from the edge of the area. This could be 4-4 already!

    Those fans sat in the two stands running along the touchlines will be getting neckache. They are like tennis fans watching the ball fly from side to side. Next to smell a chance is Spurs striker Harry Kane, who escapes the clutches of Kolarov but cannot beat Joe Hart.

    Back to the other end.... and Sergio Aguero wriggles into space. The City striker's thumping effort stings the palms of home keeper Hugo Lloris who gathers at the second attempt.

    Tottenham aren't patient for long though. Full-back Eric Dier scampers up the right touchline, but his cross whacks City defender and goes safely back into the hands of Joe Hart.

    There has been little opportunity for either side to catch breath - until now. Spurs have possession around the halfway line, deciding to be a little more patient in their approach.

    City up the tempo once again, another chance falling to Frank Lampard. The former England midfielder heads over the bar following James Milner's cross.

    Tom Holmes: That is City at their very best, a stunning, clinical counterattack. Aguero's run and Silva's pass timed to perfection.

    TruthSeeker: How did Mangala cost £30 million? I guess Aguero then should be £100million.

    Dennis Ethan: City on fire...Spurs stunned after a lively start.

    This game really is easy on the eye. It is like a basketball game at the moment - you attack, we attack. Next up on the offensive are Manchester City, with Fernadinho's low drive needing a back-pedalling Danny Rose to hack away from his goal-line. That was trundling in to the bottom corner.

  16. Postpublished at 16:33 British Summer Time 3 May 2015

    I make that about eight seconds and five City touches from Spurs having a corner to picking the ball out of their net. But Spurs come roaring back, Fazio's header going wide from another corner.

    David Pleat at White Hart Lane
    Former Tottenham manager on BBC Radio 5 live:

    "That was a very quick attack, who but Silva play that pass and Aguero drove the ball hard and firm past Lloris' left hand and it all came from quick distribution from the goalkeeper Joe Hart. It was against the run of play after almost half an hour's play."

    That's how you turn attack into defence! Joe Hart gathers following a Spurs corner and launches the ball forward quickly to David Silva. The Spaniard spots the run of Sergio Aguero who then fires in an unstoppable angled drive into the top corner. Spurs don't know what has just hit them.

    Delicious cross from the left by Danny Rose finds Eric Dier at the back stick - and he forces a Spurs corner.

    Tottenham

    Erik Lamela tries to jink into space on the edge of the City box, the away defence can't clear, but the ball just won't fall kindly for the Argentine either.
