PREM: Tottenham 0-1 Manchester City

Riyad Mahrez's fifth goal of the season settled it for Man City
Riyad Mahrez's early goal gave Manchester City a 1-0 win over Tottenham at Wembley to send them back to the top of the Premier League.
Mahrez's close-range finish gave the champions the victory after Kieran Trippier's mistake (6), and the former Leicester man raised his hands to the sky in celebration, afterwards dedicating the goal to Foxes owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha following his tragic death.
David Silva somehow missed from close range after the break, and Spurs missed their big chance late on as Erik Lamela struck over the bar from 10 yards with the goal gaping.
The result means Man City remain unbeaten with 26 points out of a possible 30, while Spurs are five points further back in fifth.
Much of the talk pre-game was of the state of the Wembley turf following the NFL fixture on Sunday, and City chose to bypass a worn-out central area for their early opener.
Ederson's long punt caused problems for Trippier, who got caught under the ball and allowed Raheem Sterling to ease into the area, before Mahrez slotted home his centre from eight yards.
Harry Kane then struck narrowly over from 25 yards, Toby Alderweireld directed an unmarked header straight at Ederson, while at the other end Mahrez's effort from a tight angle was tipped onto the post by Hugo Lloris.
David Silva missed a glorious chance to make it 2-0 after the break from Bernardo Silva's square ball, bizarrely choosing to take a touch from six yards with the majority of the goal to aim at.
Eventually, Sterling saw his effort blocked and Spurs survived, much to the anger of Pep Guardiola in the dugout.
Sergio Aguero should have done better as he struck straight at Lloris from 10 yards in space, and Spurs were somehow still in it with 10 minutes remaining as Erik Lamela skied over from 10 yards with just Ederson to beat from Dele Alli's pass.
