00:58INTRO MUSIC
01:26October 1994, and Manchester City were sitting in 8th place in the Premier League,
01:31looking to protect an unbeaten home start to the season.
01:35The statistics were against Bran Hortons men though.
01:38Visitors Tottenham Hotspur had won the previous four meetings between the two sides at Main Road,
01:43twice in the league, and once in both the league and FA Cup.
01:50Andy Dibble and Richard Edgehill both started their last game before an automatic ban
01:54after being red-carded in City's 2-1 win at Queen's Park Rangers the previous week.
02:00There was also a start for former Spurs favourite Paul Walsh.
02:07Darren Anderton was missing for Tottenham through injury,
02:10but Kevin Scott was in the starting 11 after seeing his impending suspension rescinded.
02:15After a poor performance against Watford in the League Cup and consecutive score draws in the Premiership,
02:19Spurs manager Ozzy Ardiles was under growing pressure for results.
02:24Your match commentator is Jon Champion.
02:27Match referee today is David Ellery from Harrow in Middlesex.
02:33Both these sides two months into the English Premier League season,
02:37still searching for some convincing form.
02:40Tottenham with one win in their last six Premier League outings.
02:44City with just four victories so far in ten games.
02:49But they always fancy their chances here at Main Road, and here's Nicky Somerville.
02:54And the referee's whistle has gone for the foul by Justin Edinburgh.
03:02He's being questioned by Sheringham in his role as Spurs skipper.
03:10Hedgehill with the ball, but the most likely person to deliver it is surely Somerville,
03:15given his crossing ability.
03:19A tie towards the back post.
03:22Gary Clipcroft rising.
03:25The sponsors of the League have provided the rainwear today.
03:29Any rebuilding work on the Kipak side of the ground.
03:35Meaning that when it rains in Manchester, which apparently it does reasonably frequently,
03:41you need some form of mack or coat.
03:45Here's Barmby for Spurs.
03:48Klinsman. Nicky Barmby again.
03:52Well, there was a fortuitous bounce off the Manchester City body in the midst of all that.
03:58Such attacking prowess in this Spurs side, with Sheringham and Klinsman.
04:03And Barmby and Dimitrescu.
04:06Should be full of goals.
04:10Begri.
04:14Inside Dezel.
04:16Outside Dezel.
04:22One of the most exciting wingers around, Peter Begri.
04:26Has been for a while now.
04:34Manchester City have been the team to watch for entertainment in the Premier League so far this season.
04:3816 goals scored, 14 conceded in their 10 matches.
04:43And that 2-1 win at Queen's Park Rangers last weekend, despite red cards for two of their players.
04:49Richard Edgehill and the goalkeeper Andy Dibble.
04:51They'll be serving bounds next week.
04:55Perpescu.
04:57Some spot.
04:58Sheringham.
05:00Barmby.
05:03Klinsman.
05:04Nicky Barmby!
05:06That's a good save.
05:08By Andy Dibble.
05:09Had to get down low to his side.
05:13Lovely build-up play from Spurs.
05:16Kerslake.
05:18Sheringham.
05:23And still Spurs come with Sheringham.
05:28There's a fair amount of disquiet amongst the Manchester City supporters that they have taken so long to clear their lines.
05:37Given away again.
05:40Here's Edinburgh.
05:42This time it's Keith Curl with a studious clearance.
05:47It's a really top save by Andy Dibble.
05:52That's been Ardiles' problem. Tottenham just don't take their chances sufficiently often.
05:58Perpescu.
06:00Too strong for Barmby.
06:01Too strong for Barmby.
06:10It's a super lay-off from Klinsman.
06:18Quinn beaten by Campbell.
06:22Summerby.
06:26Hitchell.
06:28Gary Flickcroft.
06:31Loomis.
06:35Campbell comes for Walsh!
06:38It's a present.
06:40A gift wrap by Tottenham for their former striker Paul Walsh.
06:49Campbell's intervention was not decisive enough.
06:55And Walsh, who three weeks ago celebrated his 32nd birthday, has opened the scoring.
07:02Feeling.
07:04Waving others to join in with him.
07:08Walsh.
07:13Trying to dribble his way through the entire Tottenham defence.
07:18Keen to do well today against former team-mates.
07:31Kevin Scott.
07:35Djeko Perpescu.
07:38Barmby.
07:40By the posterior of Flickcroft, it's now Klinsman!
07:46Well, he's won four Premier League games without a goal, which, by his lofty standards, is akin to an eternity.
07:55Arrived with an early flurry of goals.
08:01Hitchell.
08:06Inside Perpescu.
08:08To Walsh.
08:12Hitchell.
08:13Comes for Walsh again.
08:15Round scores!
08:17Such an inviting ball across the face.
08:25Paul Walsh very much taking the eye.
08:32Perpescu.
08:41Sheringham.
08:53Now Klinsman.
08:55Around Dibble.
08:57Down he goes.
08:58And guess what?
08:59It's a penalty.
09:05Tries of cheat, cheat, cheat from the stands and the terraces.
09:09No question that he made an awful lot of whatever contact there was.
09:16It's the Romanian.
09:17Ili Dimitrescu.
09:20Perfect penalty.
09:23And Spurs are back level at 1-1.
09:26And a ground where they have been victorious on their last four visits.
09:41Fielder.
09:48Walsh.
09:51Hitchcroft.
09:52Now with Perpescu for Spurs.
09:58Bites up.
10:03Curls free-kick.
10:11Decision goes City's way.
10:15It is a miserable afternoon.
10:17Begri.
10:18And Salovey.
10:23Stooping headers are not his strong point.
10:28But it was such a nice delivery from Peter Begri.
10:31It demanded a good finish.
10:33Didn't get it.
10:36And it's a penalty.
10:38And it's a penalty.
10:40And it's a penalty.
10:42And it's a penalty.
10:44And it's a penalty.
10:46And it's a penalty.
10:58Perpescu.
11:03Trying to find an angle.
11:05And a space from which to shoot instead.
11:08Spurs sharing him to Dezel.
11:11Kerslake.
11:19Tottenham are having a good spell here.
11:28Dumitrescu.
11:32Sharing on setter down.
11:34And then he goes down.
11:41Heat is definitely on for Osvaldo Ardiles.
11:47Kerslake.
11:58Perpescu.
12:02Dumitrescu.
12:11Tottenham having plenty of possession in this phase of the game.
12:15Haven't threatened that often.
12:17Scott.
12:19Dumitrescu.
12:23Oh, off the face of the bar!
12:27And then the follow-up.
12:29Well, well wide.
12:30From Sheringham.
12:36Took a deflection off Ed Chill which looped it over the goalkeeper.
12:41Left him stranded.
12:44And then Sheringham was being challenged by Phelan.
12:54Summerby.
12:57Walsh!
12:58And Quinn!
13:03If one striker doesn't get you, the other one surely will.
13:10Little and large.
13:12Walsh and Quinn.
13:15And this time it's large who's scored.
13:19Super cross from Summerby.
13:21You've come to expect that from him.
13:25Walker's parry.
13:27Comfortable.
13:28Apart from the kick in the teeth for Niall Quinn.
13:33More problems with the Spurs management.
13:41Quinn.
13:43To Walsh.
13:45These two have combined so well.
13:47V-grip.
13:50Quinn rising!
13:53And heading the ball as he was falling.
13:57Tottenham are struggling to deal with the height of Manchester City's totem Niall Quinn.
14:03Topescu.
14:05Sheringham.
14:11Peter Begri.
14:22Now Quinn.
14:24Now Walsh!
14:26And Walker couldn't keep it out!
14:29He probably should have done.
14:33But the former Spurs striker, Paul Walsh, has his second goal against Tottenham.
14:40Of a very wet afternoon.
14:43And Manchester City lead 3-1.
14:48Deserved.
14:51Dumitru Simeonov.
14:52Walsh.
14:55Deserved.
14:57Dumitru Escu.
15:00Steered away by Curl.
15:09Good for the goalkeeper.
15:12First Duzel, then it was Klinsman.
15:15Now it's with Dumitru Escu.
15:18And that was Popescu.
15:21He won't be too proud to put his name to that effort.
15:24As half-time arrives at Main Road.
15:27With Manchester City leading 3-1.
15:29Two of them scored by that man, Paul Walsh.
15:32Exchanging words with the coach, David Ross, as he heads down the tunnel.
15:36Dumitru Escu's penalty.
15:38Sandwiched in between.
15:40Niall Quinn also on the score sheet.
15:42And it's a reasonably happy, if very damp, Main Road at half-time.
15:45With a scoreline of Manchester City 3, Tottenham 1.

18:43The presumably unhappy
18:45is the man whose personal assurances
18:47led to Klinsmann joining Spurs.
18:53Dimitrescu.
18:56Klinsmann getting the better of Ed Sheeran.
18:59Dimitrescu again with a deflection and a goal.
19:03And all of a sudden,
19:05Tottenham are back in this contest.
19:07In the first minute of the second half.
19:13A bit of good fortune.
19:16Allowed them to wrong put the goalkeeper.
19:20Dibble was pretty helpless.
19:27Such a good player.
19:29That is a manager.
19:31The jury remains out.
19:36Good tackle by Quinn on Pepescu.
19:42Pepescu is limping.
19:44But it's Dimitrescu.
19:46It's Countryman who's got the ball.
19:49And still.
19:51And that was a very useful block.
19:56By Ian Brightwell.
20:00Very necessary.
20:07Sheringham.
20:10Blamed by Dibble.
20:13Decisive goalkeeping.
20:16Brian Horton is in his second season here.
20:20Manchester City's seventh manager in ten years
20:23when he took the job.
20:27Klinsmann.
20:35And a goal.
20:38And a goal.
20:40Dimitrescu.
20:47Dozel.
20:56Terry Phelan for Manchester City.
20:59The only route was the one back to the goalkeeper.
21:07Quinn.
21:10Walsh.
21:19Bigric.
21:22Kerslake committed himself all too easily.
21:25And there's the fourth goal.
21:27Headed in by Steve Lomas.
21:35It's a goal that sums up Manchester City.
21:39Today full of adventure and hope.
21:44They do say that fortune favours the brave.
21:49And they have cast caution to the winds today.
21:53And it's Tottenham who are suffering.
22:01Dimitrescu.
22:05Klinsmann.
22:10Driven goal.
22:14No-one to touch it in from Justin Edinburgh.
22:19They claim it wasn't a shot.
22:21It might well have been.
22:40Tottenham go to Knox County in the League Cup on Wednesday.
22:44It's the last thing they need right now.
22:46Potential banana skin of a cup tie.
22:54A poor start this season.
22:56Compounding the problems from last when they were only 15th in the table.
23:00Just three points clear of the drop.
23:02That's what's led to this pressure mounting up on the manager,
23:05Osvaldo Ardile.
23:07Popescu.
23:10Sheringham.
23:12Bambi.
23:22They look a little world-weary, Tottenham, now.
23:25They're trying to get back into the game.
23:27They've got to get back into the game.
23:29They've got to get back into the game.
23:31They've got to get back into the game.
23:33They've got to get back into the game.
23:34Tottenham, now.
23:36They've tried everything they know.
23:38All their attacking talents put together.
23:40Still not enough.
23:43Nicky Bambi.
23:47Dimitrescu.
23:54Sheringham's header.
23:57Deposited behind by Ian Brightwell.
24:04Come on, come on, come on!
24:10Andy Dibble's had some good moments today.
24:18Quinn.
24:20Walsh.
24:31Campbell.
24:33Popescu.
24:37Klinsman.
24:39Here's Bambi!
24:41And once again, the goalkeeper, Dibble, decided he was coming for a ball
24:45and wasn't going to be denied.
24:48Lomas.
24:52Quinn.
24:56Ten minutes to go, this is Summerby.
25:03Lomas.
25:12They have really high hopes for Steve Lomas here at Manchester City.
25:20Sheringham.
25:24Dimitrescu.
25:26Inelegantly, but effectively, Manchester City clear to half-way.
25:31And it was Lomas helping out at the back this time.
25:44This hefty defeat is bound to reopen the debate over the future of Aussie Ardiles.
25:50Not that it's ever really gone to Ardiles,
25:52Aussie Ardiles.
25:54Not that it's ever really gone away.
26:01Offside against Teddy Sheringham.
26:11Walsh.
26:14Bearing down on Campbell.
26:16Twisting past Campbell, Paul Walsh for City.
26:19And there's the fifth from Gary Flitcroft.
26:23But it owed everything to the weaving, jinking run of Paul Walsh.
26:33He scored two and now set up two
26:36against one of his old clubs.
26:44And has he enjoyed himself?
26:45You bet he has.
26:52Fending off the attentions of Kerslake.
26:56Walsh.
27:04Flitcroft for Lomas.
27:08Hedgehill.
27:10Quinn.
27:15Big deflection on that.
27:18And for a moment Lomas was hoping
27:22as the goalkeeper went one way and the ball the other.
27:29Tottenham announced themselves on the opening day of the season with a 4-3 win at Hillsborough.
27:33They won three of their first four games
27:36and have only won one of six since.
27:40Viggo.
27:45Salobe.
27:53Dispossessed by Popescu.
27:56It's all now pretty academic.
27:59Three goal margin between the sides.
28:03And Manchester City extending their unbeaten run here at Main Road.
28:10Six games played this season.
28:13Four wins, two draws. It'll be in the Premier League
28:16when the final whistle is blown by David Ellery.
28:20Which is now.
28:23And Manchester City
28:25have in the end a handsome win
28:27in a thrilling game against Tottenham.
28:30The visitors contributed fully to the entertainment on offer.
28:33Two goals from the former Spurs striker Paul Walsh.
28:37One from Lomas.
28:39One from Quinn.
28:40One from Flickcroft.
28:42Two of those he didn't score, he set up.
28:44So it's been a great day for Walsh.
28:46Dimitrescu with a brace.
28:48One from the spot for Tottenham.
28:50Manchester City clearly the more effective of the two teams
28:53even if Tottenham had the bigger names.
28:55Manchester City 5, Tottenham 2.
28:59A fine win for Manchester City
29:01in what otherwise turned out to be a relatively poor season
29:04which saw them finish 17th in the Premier League.
29:07It was worse still for the Tottenham manager Ozi Adil.
29:10The Argentine lasted just two more games in charge.
29:14Steve Perryman was installed as caretaker manager
29:17before Jerry Francis took over and guided them to 7th.
29:41Gear up for three thrilling Christmas Day match-ups in the NBA
29:46including one with the Lakers
29:48who aim to continue their winning momentum
29:50after clinching the NBA in-season tournament.
30:10We'll be right back.
