It did not take long for Manchester City to take the lead over Tottenham Hotspurs in the big game of the week in the Barclays Premier League this Sunday. The Citizens scored after only 14 seconds in the game and ended putting five more goals in the net, earning an easy 6-0 win.

The Spanish winger found the net after a save by Hugo Lloris on a 25-yard attempt by Aguero. Before this goal, the Spurs were the best defense of the league, conceding only six goals in 11 games. Unfortunately for them, that goal was just the first of a long list on Sunday afternoon as the Citizens were simply on fire.

Even though Tottenham reacted and created a few opportunity, especially by Erik Lamela, City took control of the game with an impressive Sergio Aguero and a good Samir Nasri, involved in many offensive opportunities. Indeed, at the 35th minute both players were involved in the second goal. With the ball on the right side, Nasri found Aguero who lost his face to face with Lloris. Negredo got the rebound and his shot, deflected by Sandro, found the net. This was an own goal by the Spurs midfielder.

Only two minutes later, Aguero found the net, giving a three goal lead to City. The Spurs were happy to get to the half with only a three-goal difference. City perfectly played in the back of the Spurs' defense with their fast and technical players like Aguero, Nasri and Navas.

It seemed that Andre Villas-Boas' speech at the break did not wake up the Spurs! After five minutes in the second half, Aguero scored again after a brilliant rush by Yaya Toure. The Spurs almost conceded a fourth goal two minutes later, but Nasri found the crossbar on a great shot that let Lloris on his feet.

But the Citizens were unstoppable and at the 55th minute, striker Alvaro Negredo, who played a great game, found the net with a great shot after beating his defender. Unstoppable for Lloris!

The Spurs did try to react with Adebayor, who entered the game at halftime and played there his first minutes this season, and with Lamela who kept dribbling on his right side and creating opportunities. But it was not enough as Tottenham was poor defensively today, and conceded a sixth goal of the foot of Jesus Navas in added time (92').

The Spurs, best defense of the Barclays before this game, gave up six goals in 90 minutes when they had only conceded six in the 11 previous games.

City showed once again its finishing power. The Citizens scored 13 goals in the past two games. They might keep this scoring spree as they will face Vitoria Pizen during the match day 5 of the Champions League.

The Spurs are still stuck in ninth place and Manchester City gets back in the top four (4th).
