And that’s that!
Man City claim a hard fought win against a wasteful Tottenham.
What a chance to equalise!
Porro’s cross is diverted into the path of Sarr by Son, but the midfielder’s header loops over the bar.
After FOUR minutes of VAR checks Haaland’s goal is disallowed!
Erling Haaland powers his way through Kevin Danso and Archie Gray before firing into the bottom left corner, but the Norwegian looks to have used his arm…
Jack Grealish comes on for Doku. Gundogan comes on for Kovacic.
Doku goes down…
Ilkay Gundogan is ready to come on.
Four more minutes…
Savinho comes off, with James McAtee coming on in his place.
Another yellow card for Spurs.
Sarr is the latest into the book after a foul on Foden.
So close for Tottenham again!
Johnson beats Mateo Kovacic for pace and plays the ball into Son, whose goal-bound effort is clawed away by Ederson.
The attendance tonight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is 60,820.
Final substitution for Tottenham.
Timo Werner is on to replace James Maddison.
This has been a much improved second half performance by Tottenham, but they are living dangerously with how they play out from the back.
Luckily for them City keep fouling them.
Omar Marmoush and Nico Gonzalez are off.
They’re replaced by Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva.
The substitutes combine to almost create the equaliser!
Spence gets down the left hand side before cutting the ball back to Sarr, but the midfielder’s effort curls away from goal.
Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min, Pape Matar Sarr and Djed Spence are all coming on.
They replace, Mathys Tel, Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur and Wilson Odobert.
Udogie breaks the City defence, plays it into Tel but Nunes is back just in time to halt the Frenchman.
Another Tottenham corner, but Bentancur’s header bounces safely into the palms of Ederson.
Djed Spence is set to come on…
James Maddison is shown a yellow card for a cynical challenge on Savinho.
The Englishman was practically mounting the City star.
So close for Tottenham!
Porro whips in a cross to the back post, the ball evades everyone but Odobert at the back sliding in, but he can only hit it wide of the goal!
Not much to report on this half so far.
Most of the football is being played in the middle of the pitch.
And we’re underway for the second half!
