Manchester City responded to officially losing the Premier League title by beating Tottenham 1-0 thanks to Sergio Aguero's goal in their bid to finish in second place.

The Argentine striker took his league-high tally to 22 goals by finishing off a classic counterattack in the 29th minute, running onto David Silva's pass and sending a rising shot inside the near post.

City have recovered from a slump to win their last three matches and virtually guarantee a place in the Champions League next season. The team is provisionally three points ahead of third-place Arsenal, whose first of two games in hand is at Hull tomorrow.

City kicked off at White Hart Lane less than an hour after being replaced as English champions by Chelsea.

Spurs applied great pressure throughout the match but Harry Kane failed to equalise and send his team to fifth place.
