| 13.01.1996 | Spurs scored the only
goal of this poor match in the second half. Campbell took the ball
up the left wing with players supporting in the penalty box.
The defender's cross to the far post looked harmless enough, but a
jump by Chris Armstrong met the ball and his header went over and
across the keeper and into the net to give Spurs all three points.
Spurs: Armstrong, |
| 19.08.1995 |
At the start of the season, Spurs went to White Hart Lane and went ahead ten minutes before half time, when a long pass forward to Ronnie Rosenthal, wide left just outside the box, pulled the ball back to substitute Kevin Scott. The defender put in a cross to the far post for Teddy Sheringham who was unmarked to head past goalkeeper Eike Immel. Ten minutes into the second half, Uwe Rosler scored with a header over Walker, who had advanced from his line, to leave the scores level. Man. City: Immel |
| 11.04.1995 | Having just suffered
defeat in the FA Cup semi-final, Spurs got straight back into the
business of winning League points with a 2-1 win over City, in a
game that had been postponed from 21st January, because of heavy
rainfall in the morning prior to the game leading to a 2.00 p.m.
postponement.
Uwe Rosler gave Tottenham a 49th minute shock with a goal put City ahead, but David Howells got Tottenham level four minutes later. It was left to Jurgen Klinsmann to notch the winner with just four minutes remaining. Man. City: Rosler |

| 24.03.1993 | Spurs took a 24th
minute lead in this Wednesday night Premier League match, when
Darren Anderton shot the ball past Tony Coton. With two minutes
left before half-time, Nayim extended the lead to 2-0, but Mike
Sheron pulled one back for Man. City just on the hour mark. 87
minutes had elapsed when Andy Turner completed the scoring to give
Spurs the three points.

| 07.03.1993 | Although hooligans
marred this FA Cup Sixth round match, the game itself was a fine
one, with Nayim scoring a hat-trick for Tottenham.
Mike Sheron headed in a Terry Phelan cross after just three minutes to give the early advantage to City, but Nayim equalised when he hit a low half volley through a forest of legs in the box from 20 yards, after a long throw had been headed out to him. Right on half-time, Tottenham took the lead when Paul Allen played the ball in from the left wing to Sedgley and he drove a shot past Tony Coton. Into the second period, Spurs work a throw-in on the right through Dean Austin to Sheringham, who's shot crashes back off the foot of a post. It drops in the middle of the box, where Nayim got the ball stuck under his foot but reacted quickly to put Tottenham 3-1 up. The midfielder completed his hat-trick when Paul Allen found Nayim near the penalty spot after a good run down the right wing. He stopped the ball, picked his spot and curled it in around Coton. Man. City fans invaded the pitch at 4-1, with Police horses also getting on the grass, hoping to get the game abandoned, but the match ended with a very good win for Spurs, who went on to the semi-final. The best goal of the match was scored by Terry Phelan, who slalomed through the Tottenham side and finished at the end of a 50 yard run. Teddy Sheringham also missed a penalty, probably because he was informed by City keeper Coton that he wouldn't get out alive if he scored !! Teams : - |

. Man. City: |
| 28.10.1992 | A single goal decided
this League Cup Fourth Round encounter at Maine Road.
With just 14 minutes on the clock, Erik Thorstvedt launched a big kick downfield and Vinny Samways latched onto Nicky Barmby's flicked header on and smashed a low shot into the bottom corner of the net from the edge of the box. Thorsvedt then turned goal-stopper, with a succession of saves from Simpson, White, Sheron and Quinn's diving header. When Sheringham missed Paul Allen's cross from the right wing, Barmby snuck in behind and forced a good save from Coton, while Teddy and Samways also tested the City custodian. However, both goals stayed intact and Tottenham progressed by the narrowest of margins. Man. City: Coton; Hill, Curle, I.
