Manchester City ploughed their way through a sticky Wembley pitch and back to the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Tottenham.

Still, it was an eighth win from 10 Premier League games this season and they leapfrog Liverpool at the summit on goal difference.
Elsewhere, Cristiano Ronaldo has opened up about his decision to leave Real Madrid in the summer to join Serie A giants Juventus in a high-profile move.
The 33-year-old explained the role played by Los Blancos president Florentino Perez in influencing his decision to leave in an interview with France Football magazine.
