English Premier League
Result: Tottenham 0-1 Man City
Date: 3 May 2015
Venue: White Hart Lane
Manchester City only required a single strike from Sergio Aguearo to
claim all three points at Tottenham in their Premier League clash on
Sunday.
Spurs almost made the perfect start as they came within inches of
taking the lead only three minutes into the game. Chadli broke down the
left wing and earned a corner kick for his side. Lamela whipped in the
corner but Dier's glanced header went just wide.
A mere minute later the hosts were yet again threatening to score the
opening goal. Harry Kane powered past the City defenders before
unleashing a powerful low shot that went narrowly wide of the left-hand
post.
However, despite Tottenham's flashy start to the game it was the
visitors who drew first blood in the 29th minute. David Silva provided
the pin-point pass that released Sergio Aguero who smashed home his
finish into the roof of the net.
City had their tails up around the 70-minute mark and came close to
doubling their advantage when Kolarov rifled a thunderous strike at Hugo
Lloris. However, the Spurs keeper was up to the task and pushed the
ball over the bar.
With six minutes left before stoppage time, Joe Hart was called upon to
make a good save low and to his left when Paulinho's strike threatened
to level matters following some great build-up play between the
Brazilian and Soldado.
