Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).
90+6'
There's the final whistle!! Manchester City have won an incredible match, and that could be a huge moment in propelling them to their first title in 44 years!
90+6'
Webb is playing a few more seconds!
90+5'
GOAL!! BALOTELLI WINS IT FOR CITY!! The Italian plants the ball into the bottom-left corner and City have won a spectacular match!
90+4'
PENALTY CITY!!! KING BRINGS DOWN BALOTELLI!! Incredible! City can win this with the last kick of the game! Clear foul by King, really poor challenge.
90+3'
Now City build. Can they nick it after that incredible let-off?
90+2'
Lescott gets a vital toe on the ball as Livermore plays a through-ball for Defoe.
90+1'
WHAT A MISS!! Spurs counter-attack, Bale tees up Defoe for an open goal and he somehow puts it wide!! He was on the stretch, but that was a gimme!
90+1'
Four minutes of added time will be played. Still time for a dramatic finale.
90'
Spurs attempt to play keep-ball. No doubt they will be delighted with a point.
89'
Steven Pienaar replaces Aaron Lennon.
88'
Defoe goes down under the attentions of Lescott 25 yards from the City goal. No foul, says Webb, and it's probably a good decision.
87'
More slick work form Friedel, racing out to claim a deflected Balotelli shot that had looped up.
86'
City dominate possession now, but Spurs are back in numbers and very disciplined.
85'
Great defending from Kaboul to beat Silva to a Nasri cross and head behind... in fact, a goal kick has been awarded. Spurs a bit fortunate there.
83'
Ooh... Mario Balotelli tangles with Scott Parker, and it looks as though he might have aimed a stamp at the Spurs man. He was off-balance, so let's give him the benefit of the doubt. We probably haven't heard the last of that.
82'
Nasri's cross is deflected and Friedel just stops the ball going out for a corner, despite the howls of protest from City.
81'
Bale thinks he has been brought down by Richards at the edge of the City box, but Howard Webb tells him to get up.
80'
Dodgy first touch by Balotelli at the edge of the box, and the Italian then goes through the back of Assou-Ekotto. Yellow card.
79'
Defoe dribbles into the City box from the right but takes an airshot as Lescott just gets a toe on the ball.
