Tim Sherwood's Tottenham get ripped apart at White Hart Lane
It was the same old tale of two cities repeating itself at White Hart Lane in London after Manchester City once again proved,why they are the team to beat this season.After putting 5 past 10 men Tottenham,City went top of the table and exhibited an ominous strength of character and ruthlessness.
City needed a point to reach the pinnacle of the League table,after Arsenal were denied their 3 points on being held to a 2-2 draw against Southampton and after Danny Rose's sending off after 50 minutes the outcome of the game was very much decided.But,the worrying part of City's trip to North London was the injury sustained by spearhead Sergio Aguero, who was almost impossible to stop yesterday for the Spurs defence.
Sergio Aguero himself opened the scoring early in the first half to hand City an early and a well deserved lead.Yaya Toure doubled the advantage after converting from the part following a straight red card to Danny Rose ,who had made a professional foul on the clean through Edin Dzeko. The Bosnian himself added the third for the Citizens but Spurs did show some resiliency on pulling one back through Etienne Capoue.Although,Spurs did play equally well in the second half but the referee's decision to send off Danny Rose had obscured their slender chances of winning.City's latest outcast Stefan Jovetic scored his first League goal since joining the Noisy Neighbors the previous summer and later ,Vincent Kompany hammered in the final nail in coffin in the 89th minute to finally silence the Spurs fans at a jam packed White Hart Lane.
The convincing victory and a recent run of opposition ridiculing performances have truly indicated the rise to prominence for City and if you ask me who are the favorites to win title this season.I'll say "Manchester City"
