Tottenham news: Roy Keane makes top four verdict as Spurs keep title race open

Tottenham Hotspur's dramatic win over Man City on Saturday night not only kept their top four chances alive but reignited the Premier League title race.

When the final whistle blew at the Etihad Stadium, Spurs were four points behind Manchester United in fourth place and had games in hand.

United went on to win on Sunday to increase the gap to seven points and former Red Devils captain Roy Keane has had his say on who will claim the final place in the league for next season's UEFA Champions League qualification spot.

While further up the table, City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has revealed what their defeat at the hands of Tottenham means for title challengers Liverpool, who beat Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.

Here are Mirror Football's latest Tottenham Hotspur headlines.

Keane's top four prediction

The race for the fourth and final UEFA Champions League spot looks to go down to the wire with every club in the midst of the battle picking up points.

Spurs beating City on Saturday night kept them in the hunt but the club would have been dismayed to see United pick up a much-needed win the following day against Leeds United.

Speaking as a pundit to Sky Sports, Keane believes his former club will keep Tottenham out of the Europe's premier cup competition.

He said: “They need to keep their heads, keep focused and show the quality, like they did today, and they should be ok.”

Spurs impact title race

Given the form of Tottenham heading into Saturday's night tie against City, not many tipped them to get anything from the game.

But a last-gasp Harry Kane header shocked the footballing world and breathed life into a Premier League title race which was looking like a formality for the reigning champions.

Though City have their destiny in their own hands, Tottenham have at least caused everyone to hold off on crowning Pep Guardiola's side as champions-elect for the time being.

Spurs also play Liverpool in May so could yet play an even bigger role in deciding where the trophy ends up at the end of the season.

Gundogan discusses Spurs defeat

Having seen his equaliser ultimately come to nothing, City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has spoken about Liverpool's chances of catching the league leaders.

City hold a six-point advantage over the Reds but that lead could be cut down to three if Liverpool win their game in hand.

Speaking after the thrilling encounter against Tottenham on Saturday night, Gundogan was honest about what the defeat meant for the chasing side.

He said: "We know they'll try everything to make our lives as difficult as possible. The good thing is that they still need to come here to the Etihad, but there are still many games to go."
