End of match

  • 200'
    Spurs miss out on the Europa Conference League and we leave you with City's celebrations. Thanks very much for joining us and see you again soon!
  • 200'
    Son is in tears, City's player celebrates and Foden and another City footballer went over to console another Spurs man. Quality gesture.
  • 94'
    FT: Man C 1-0 Tottenham!! All over at Wembley!! Man City are fully deserved winners thanks to Laporte's 82nd minute header. The Sky Blues dominated the contest, especially in the first half, and they had several chances to score. Spurs had Dier, Alderweireld and Lloris to thank for the fact it was only 1-0. Apart from a Lo Celso effort at the start of the 2nd half, they never looked like scoring.

    You have to say the goal is deserved. City have been far superior to their opponents. Take out the Lo Celso chance, and Spurs have done nothing.
  • 83 '
    Spurs sub: Alli on for Hojbjerg. I think Hojbjerg will be disappointed as he was not quite on the post and he didn't clear.

    HT: Man C 0-0 Tottenham!! Half-time at Wembley and City have bossed this one. However, it's still goalless. Dier denied Sterling from close range early on while Alderweireld deflected a Foden strike onto the post from close range and Cancelo forced a fine save out of Lloris right on HT. Mahrez has also had a few chances to score. Spurs have done next to nothing going forward. Only a couple of corners, but they are still in this one. Back shortly!

    The corner is dealt with and that's half-time!
