Sven wants season turning point

Sven-Goran Eriksson hopes that the 2-1 victory over Tottenham at the City of Manchester will be a 'turning point' the the Citizens season. Goals from Nedum Onouha and Stephen Ireland gave City a hugely important victory over their Premiership rivals.

"I think we deserved to win. I think we created more chances than they did," he told Sky Sports.

"It was extremely important for us to win. We had gone three games without scoring a goal and getting only one point.

"I hope this is the turning point, and that we can play well for the rest of the season. I don't think we played badly in the first half, but we needed to be livelier.

"I thought we had better initiative in the second half and we scored two goals."
