Manchester City 2 Tottenham 1: Manchester City produced a spirited second-half fightback to beat Tottenham 2-1 at Eastlands and claim their first win in four Premier League matches.

Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane had put the visitors in the 32nd minute by clipping a left-footed shot past Joe Hart.

However, just before the hour Keane's Irish teammate Stephen Ireland poked home from close range before Nedum Onuoha's powerful header clinched a first victory since the Manchester derby on February 10.

Ireland's strike ended a six-hour 14-minute goal drought stretching back to that success over United and provided the catalyst for a much-improved display from Sven-Goran Eriksson's previously struggling side.

It was City's first win in six home matches and their first victory over Tottenham since April 2003.

For Spurs, however, the result capped a miserable week which saw them dumped out of the UEFA Cup on penalties by PSV Eindhoven.
