Manchester City boss Kevin Keegan described his side's stunning 4-3 FA Cup victory over Tottenham as "the cup tie of my lifetime". The visitors trailed 3-0 at half-time and had been reduced to 10 men, before fighting back to reach the fifth round.
"It was an incredible comeback and they'll talk about this long after I've gone," said Keegan.
"I have never known anything like that. Maybe miracle is too strong a word but it was a triumph over adversity."
Ledley King, Robbie Keane and Christian Ziege put Spurs in total command inside 41 minutes.

Joey Barton was then shown a second yellow card for dissent after the break as City appeared to be crumbling. But they drew level through Sylvain Distin, Paul Bosvelt and Shaun Wright-Phillips before Jon Macken headed a stoppage time winner.
"My players found something extra within themselves for the second half and that might be the turning point in our season," said Keegan.
"At half-time I walked off and said to Derek Fazackerley: 'Where's the nearest job centre?'
"But our supporters got us back in the game, they were chanting for the team and made up our 11th man and the lads responded. "If we can play like that with 11 men then nobody will beat us, so bring them all on."
