City start with stalemate
Big-spending Manchester City's top-four credentials were no clearer after a Jekyll-and-Hyde performance in a goalless draw at Tottenham.
City somehow survived a first-half Spurs onslaught as Joe Hart fully justified his new status as City and England number one.
Hart made a succession of world-class saves to deny Jermain Defoe, Tom Huddlestone and Benoit Assou-Ekotto.
Spurs midfielder Gareth Bale also hit the post before the interval.
City's multi-million-pound summer signings went AWOL in the opening 45 minutes but finally turned up after the break, with Shaun Wright-Phillips having their best chance, although Bale missed another golden chance to snatch victory for Spurs late on.
