Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne earn 9/10 in Man City win over Spurs

A fabulous season from Manchester City was in danger of being devalued by the week’s developments, but City reverted to type at Wembley and produced a performance of brilliance that lasted for 90 minutes instead of 45. Instead, the 28th win of the season equalled the club record and the victory produced an away treble at Arsenal, Chelsea and now Spurs, which none of the big guns have ever achieved.
