Given – Little chance with the goals, and even came for a couple of crosses to help an overworked defence battle the height of Crouch. Impeccable decision making on a difficult evening. 6
Richards – Did his best to get forward, but wasn’t able to replicate his goal from last weekend. Defensively he stayed strong, doing his best when asked to mark Crouch at set-pieces. 6
City went toe to toe with Spurs and came off second best in a hectic game that put a large dent in any ambitions to claim a Champions League place.
City head to White Hart Lane looking to get back to winning ways in what could be described as a 6-pointer between two sides looking to finish in the top four this season. Quite what the outcome will be is anybody’s guess as both sides mask inconsistent results with moments of attacking brilliance.
