32'
Some respite for Spurs as play is halted for Trippier to receive some treatment. He should be OK to continue.
31'
After an even start, City have completely dominated the last 20 minutes or so.
30'
Sane one of a number of City players looking red-hot tonight.
29'
True.
28'
City tear through Spurs again. Sane delivers early from the left and Aguero looks see to arrive on cue until a timely intervention from Rose on the stretch.
27'
Lloris forced into action once more. He pushes a drive from the left back into the middle of his own area, but Sterling can't react to gobble up a tap-in.
26'
25'
Alli caught by De Bruyne's high foot. City playing a crazy high line to defend the free kick. They are 15 yards outside their box. The delivery eventually comes in and it works a treat.
24'
CLOSE! Aguero races into the left of the area but sees his low drive beaten away by Lloris. Sterling picks up the pieces, but flashes over the top from 15 yards out.
22'
A fine Spurs move ends in disappointment as Rose gets his cross all wrong, angling it behind with Kane exasperated in the middle. Not a good couple of minutes for the Spurs defender.
21'
PENALTY SHOUT! Rose gives Mangala a blatant push attempting to defend a high ball into the box. Craig Pawson isn't interested, but it's fair to say the Spurs left back is fortunate to get away with that.
20'
Sane is absolutely destroying Trippier. He surges to the byline once more, but this time it's Dier who is well placed to knock it behind to safety for Spurs.
19'
STAT: Spurs have not won a PL away match since their visit to Huddersfield in September.
18'
16'
Fair point.
15'
That was Gundogan's first goal of the season. He won't get many easier. Tottenham left him in acres of space right in the middle of their own area.
14'
GOAL! Gundogan is left completely unmarked to thump a header firmly into the net from Sane's left-wing corner.

12'
Trippier raises his hands to his head in frustration after Kane snatched at a header when the full back was better placed to meet Son's cross following his late surge into the box.
11'
Another fine block from Vertonghen after Sterling has threatened with a run and low cross on the right side of the box.
10'
Aguero flicks an awkward header wide of the near post from a trademark right-wing set piece courtesy of the boot of Kevin de Bruyne.
9'
First moment of danger in the final third and it's City who go close. Sane dazzles Trippier and surges to the left byline before fizzing in a low ball that Vertonghen beats Aguero to. Super defending.
