Edin Dzeko lived up to his super-sub billing by firing Manchester City to a 2-1 victory against Tottenham.
Edin Dzeko lived up to his super-sub billing by firing Manchester City to a 2-1 victory against Tottenham.Dzeko struck three minutes from time to complete a defiant second-half comeback from the unbeaten Blues, who closed the gap on Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester United to two points.
It was the Bosnian's seventh goal of the season, six of which have come from the bench, after Sergio Aguero had cancelled out Steven Caulker's first-half header.
It also extended City's unbeaten home Premier League record to an incredible 35, and their present unbeaten league run to 16, adding weight to manager Roberto Mancini's pre-match dismissal of any sense of crisis at the Etihad Stadium.
