Does this count as a match that will ruin City's home record?

I hope as hell not, I doubt it because it's not the league. Phew.

Freddy Adu · 12-18-2007, 11:43 PM

DAMN THIS IS HORRIBLE!
It's two legs though right?

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:01 AM

Man City 0-2 Tottenham

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:01 AM

Ten-man Tottenham ended Manchester City's 100 home record to reach the semi-finals of the Carling Cup.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:01 AM

Tottenham took the lead when Jermain Defoe rounded off a neat passing move by steering home Aaron Lennon's cross.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:01 AM

The home side struggled to respond before Spurs had Didier Zokora sent off after 20 minutes for a lunge on Elano.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:01 AM

City came forward but Paul Robinson saved from Darius Vassell and Rolando Bianchi before Steed Malbranque's breakaway goal sealed Spurs' victory.

Jermain Defoe puts Tottenham ahead against Manchester City

Interview: Man City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:02 AM

The home side had won all 10 of their previous matches at Eastlands this season but they showed precious little evidence of that form here.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:02 AM

Brilliant result for us, and a really tough place to go as well

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:02 AM

It was Tottenham who were on the front foot early on, with Dimitar Berbatov at the fulcrum of their best moves.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:02 AM

The Bulgarian was involved in Defoe's goal after five minutes, releasing Lennon who sprinted away from Javier Garrido before crossing for his England team-mate to sweep the ball home.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:02 AM

Berbatov was a constant menace, using his strength to hold up the ball and his skill to lay off clever passes behind City's defence for Defoe and Lennon to run on to.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:02 AM

But that attacking threat was diminished in the 20th minute when referee Steve Bennett showed Zokora a red card for his lunging tackle on Elano - a decision that incensed Spurs assistant boss Gus Poyet.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:03 AM

With Tottenham down to 10 men, a visibly unhappy Defoe was replaced by Teemu Tainio, who slotted into a reshuffled back-line.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:03 AM

Tottenham's Didier Zokora was sent off for this challenge on Elano

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:03 AM

Having an extra man did not help City much at first, and they were grateful to Vedran Corluka when he deflected a Berbatov shot over the crossbar.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:03 AM

Elano missed from close range for the home side and Michael Johnson fired just over the bar as Tottenham were forced to defend at last.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:03 AM

And in the early stages of the second half a repeat of City's stirring comeback against Bolton on Saturday looked on the cards.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:03 AM

Robinson had to tip over Vassell's header and Martin Petrov volleyed over when well placed before the Tottenham keeper parried a Bianchi effort.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:04 AM

City also felt they should have had a penalty when Pascal Chimbonda tangled with Richard Dunne inside the area.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:04 AM

But Tottenham's tireless work, despite being a man down, meant they saw out the storm.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:04 AM

And, although City kept attacking, they were looking vulnerable on the break and Malbranque duly punished them with eight minutes to go.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:04 AM

Substitute Jamie O'Hara played the Frenchman in, and he rode Dunne's tackle before firing past Joe Hart to ensure his side's progress.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:04 AM

Man City: Hart, Corluka, Richards, Dunne, Garrido (Ball 77), Vassell (Mpenza 69), Johnson, Hamann (Geovanni 59), Petrov, Elano, Bianchi.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:04 AM

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 12:04 AM
