Manchester City ground their way to glamour. The Champions League lies before them although they will have to negotiate a qualifying round unless they can overtake Arsenal and come third on the domestic front. This is a landmark for the club but City did not have the sheen of an elite side, regardless of the fortunes spent on assembling the squad.
The fixture will be remembered for an agonising coincidence as Peter Crouch settled the outcome with an own goal. A year ago the forward had notched a conventional winner for Spurs that sent the club towards the Champions League at City's expense.
