Three second half goals in seven minutes helped Tottenham come from 3 - 1 down to beat Manchester City.

The result salvages Spurs' Top Four hopes, while City's title hopes are almost certainly extinguished.

Samir Nasri had given City a 5th minute lead with a close range volley and they looked comfortable until the game entered the final quarter.

Gareth Bale crossed for Clint Demspey to tap in an equaliser at the back post before Jermain Defoe turned the game on its head with a brilliant curling effort.

Bale made sure of the result with a third, 10 minutes from the final whistle.

Tottenham are now two points behind third placed Arsenal with a game in hand, while they are below Chelsea on goal difference.
