The Football Premiership - Spurs off the Bottom... at last

Another week, another win for Tottenham in this great reversal of fortune.

New manager, Harry Redknapp is the man !!!

Manchester City 1 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur

That will do nicely !!!

Brazilian Robinho scored first for City in the 16th minute, finding the net from point-blank range. That thankfully was the end of their tally as resurgent Tottenham were to come back strongly.

Manchester City deservedly had Gelson Fernandes sent off for a clumsy challenge and the home side were down to just 10 men. It was now a very different game.

A rejuventated Darren Bent scored a brilliant individual goal in the 30th and from here the game was Tottenham's to be won.

Bent added a second goal in the 64th and the victory was sealed when City had yet another man sent off. Tottenham had Assou-Ekoto sent off in the 87th, but by that the time the game was already won. 2-1 to Tottenham and 3 much needed points.

Spurs finally climb out the relegation zone to 17th. It looks as if they will finish the season about mid-table. One wishes Harry Redknapp had turned up a lot earlier. Under Redknapp's command Tottenham Hotspur are a completely different animal.
