Argentina international nets a ‘double-brace’ at the Ethiad as Spurs losing streak against City continues.

Roberto Soldado was the surprise inclusion in the Spurs line-up, while Frank Lampard left the play in the 27th minute with a thigh injury not looking good during the game.

Goals came from the boot of Sergio Aguero for Man City in the 13th minute assisted by Lampard, a penalty in the 20th minute, in the 68 th minute via the penalty spot again, and in the 75th minute assisted by Fernandinho, although he could have netted the fifth but denied by Hugo Lloris with a fine penalty save and also won a big compliment from Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino.

And a consolation goal made it 4-1 by Erikson as Soldado also failed to convert a penalty advantage.

Refree J.Moss couldn’t resist Federico Julián Fazio’s offence as he gave him a red card in the 67th minute.

Manuel Pelligrini’s side have found themselves in a bit of chase early in the season, trailing leaders Chelsea by four points. But now could smile with one cheek as they have gotten their intended three point against a Pochettino’s Spurs and watch if Chelsea will keep the distance or close it up on the table.
