14:22 GOAL - Manchester City 6-0 Tottenham - Jesus Navas (90 mins)
The game finishes like it starts, with a Jesus Navas goal. Erik Lamela loses the ball at the other end with some attempted showboating and James Milner hits a long, probing ball that must travel 70 yards to Navas to fire home past Hugo Lloris.
14:52 SUBSTITUTION - Manchester City 5-0 Tottenham
Tottenham bring off striker Roberto Soldado and midfielder Paulinho for Gylfi Sigurdsson and Mousa Dembele. Back to one up front for Spurs now? Not that it matters.
Surprised Sandro has stayed on after his infamous first half.
14:45 GOAL - Manchester City 5-0 Tottenham - Alvaro Negredo
That is a stunning strike. Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo gets the ball from Fernandinho and makes a fool out of Michael Dawson with a deft flick to find some space and he absolutely rifles the ball past Hugo Lloris.
14:40 GOAL - Manchester City 4-0 Tottenham - Sergio Aguero
Brilliant play for Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure. He plays a one-two with Alvaro Negredo and charges forward into the box. It never occurs to me that he's not going to shoot but he does absolutely the right thing and squares it to Sergio Aguero, who makes it 14 goals in 11 games.
SUBSTITUTION - Manchester City 3-0 Tottenham
Tottenham hand Emmanuel Adebayor his first club appearance of the season, against the side that still pay £95,000 per week towards his wages.
Midfielder Lewis Holtby is the man to be replaced - so that's two up front for Tottenham now. Is it too late for a turnaround
HALF-TIME - Manchester City 3-0 Tottenham
14:17 YELLOW CARD - Manchester City 3-0 Tottenham
Tottenham full-back Kyle Walker is the latest man to enter the yellow card club. Samir Nasris is trying to take a quick free-kick and Walker sticks his foot in from behind to intercept it. Stupid play by the England international.
14:15 YELLOW CARD - Manchester City 3-0 Tottenham
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure loses possession and in his bid to win it back, hacks down Aaron Lennon. Howard Webb immediately books the Ivorian.
14:11 GOAL - Manchester City 3-0 Tottenham - Sergio Aguero
Pablo Zabaleta feeds Jesus Navas down the right and the winger's cross evades Younes Kaboul and is guided home by Sergio Aguero from close range.
14:10 YELLOW CARD - Manchester City 2-0 Tottenham
Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen enters the book for a challenge on Pablo Zabaleta. This game is really getting away from the visitors now.
14:05 GOAL - Manchester City 2-0 Tottenham - Sandro own goal (34 mins)
Oh no, could Sandro's day get any worse? City break forward after another poor clearance by Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris and ALvaro Negredo's shot hits first Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul and then Sandro and ends up in the net.
13:51 YELLOW CARD - Manchester City 1-0 Tottenham
Tottenham midfielder Sandro is the first player to be booked for a foul on Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.
13:32 GOAL - Manchester City 1-0 Tottenham - Jesus Navas (1 min)
Manchester City lead within 14 seconds. Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris kicks the ball straight to Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero. The Argentine's shot is saved by Lloris but Jesus Navas lofts in a wonderful chip from the edge of the box to make it 1-0. Remarkable start.
