Christian Eriksen
Such a weird end to the game!
Christian Eriksen has hardly done a thing but here he is shaping across goal and delightfully planting the ball into the bottom corner.
They could have done with that about an hour ago...

City deserve the plaudits but my word Spurs have been rubbish today.

THREE minutes added on.
Just end it now, Spurs will be pleading. Moussa Sissoko is booked.

Bradley Allen
Ex-QPR striker on BBC Radio London at the EtihadRuthless. Eric Dier misjudged the bounce, and Raheem Sterling tried to flick it over Hugo Lloris but he's missed it, and it's just gone through the keeper's legs. Two of the easiest goals he'll ever score after missing a couple of sitters early on.

Raheem Sterling
Just misery for Spurs. Magic for City - but it's probably the worst goal they'll score all season.
Bernado Silva's through ball gets right through Eric Dier, Raheem Sterling is then perhaps lucky to knock it through Hugo Lloris' legs as the keeper rashly rushes out, and then all that's left to do is roll it home.

Man City 3-0 Tottenham
Spurs haven't been great, it's true. But as Manchester City close on their 16th consecutive Premier League win, you have to say, it's just so hard to stop them.
Ben Davies takes Danny Rose's place at left-back for the final few minutes.

Clinton Eyong: Pochettino has to be blamed for how awful Spurs have been. Everything was just wrong- line-up, formation, game plan, execution.
GREAT SAVE!published at 87 mins
Man City 3-0 Tottenham
Now he's found his range! Raheem Sterling strikes a left-footed shot from the edge of the box that is just dipping under the bar until Hugo Lloris launches himself high to tip over the bar. Top stop.
CHANCE!published at 86 mins

Bernado Silva, with his first touches, draws a save low down from Hugo Llloris. City don't want to stop here.
Phil Foden gets in on the act with a cross that is well caught by the Spurs keeper.

Now Leroy Sane is making way and Bernado Silva is on to replace him.
Under five to go. Tottenham will settle for this.

It's a real head scratcher...

Ilkay Gundogan is coming off now. He glances up around him and claps the fans.
English 17-year-old midfield talent Phil Foden is on for his Premier League debut.
A change for Spurs too - Dele Alli is off and Moussa Sissoko on.

Bradley Allen
Ex-QPR striker on BBC Radio London at the EtihadBreathtaking football from City. We should commend Raheem Sterling's perseverance too, because he's had some shocking misses today. But for that one - he's stroked the ball home after some unslefish play from Leroy Sane. City have been incredible today.

Raheem Sterling
Manchester City just make it look so easy. They cut through a ragged Tottenham backline after Mousa Dembele gives the ball away to Kevin de Bruyne in midfield.
Leroy Sane is found wide left, he drives in on goal, stalls for Raheem Sterling to enter stage right, and the England winger finally gets an effort on target.
A simple tap-in finish, after a brutally brief build-up.

Bradley Allen
Ex-QPR striker on BBC Radio London at the EtihadThat would have been a remarkable contribution from Erik Lamela - he's danced his way to the byline - and Harry Winks has come in, probably should have hit it first time, but he's gone past Mangala and eventually lost control. A let off for City.
CHANCE!published at 77 mins
Man City 2-0 Tottenham
Wasteful!
Tottenham won't have City on the rack like this too often. Erik Lamela cuts back to Harry Winks in the box and suddenly the home side panic - the challenges come flying in, Winks evades when he might have gone down - and even with Ederson on the ground he can't find the composure to launch a shot.

Bradley Allen
Ex-QPR striker on BBC Radio London at the EtihadWow. I don't know whether Raheem Sterling has had some shooting practice from Johnny Wilkinson on that left-foot because he's fired over at every opporunity today - get him in for the Six Nations! But, in truth, that's another really bad miss.

Huge let off the away side. Mauricio Pochettino takes the opportunity to shuffle his pack.
Erik Lamela is on and Son Heung-min is off.
Just 15 minutes for this game to fundamentally alter.
