But it simply erupted in injury-time as Macken met Tarnat's deep cross after another, amazing run by Wright-Phillips The 10 men had done it. "If you do that every week with 11 men no one beats you," Keegan said. "And I don't care who you are - you can fetch them all on." And they will In the fifth round it's Manchester United, of course. Simply unbelievable.Tottenham Hotspur (4-4-2): Keller; Carr, Gardner, Richards, Ziege (Jackson, 60); Dalmat, King, Brown, Davies; Postiga (Poyet, 9), Keane. Substitutes not used: Burch (gk), Kelly, Yeates.Manchester City (4-4-2) Arason; Sun Jihai, Dunne, Distin, Tarnat; Wright-Phillips, Barton, Bosvelt (Sibierski, 80), Sinclair (McManaman, 80); Fowler, Anelka (Macken, 27). Substitutes not used: Stuhr-Ellegaard (gk), Jordan.Referee: R Styles (Hampshire)..

Dominic Keane did not know whether to laugh or cry. Tears flowed the moment Livingston clinched a place in the CIS Insurance Cup final on Tuesday night, but their owner's senses were confused Dominic Keane did not know whether to laugh or cry. The man who built Livingston up with six years of hard work, taking them from the Scottish Second Division into Europe, has been kicked out by the club's bankers.Livingston went into administration yesterday, owing £3.5m. The players who defeated Dundee may not be in a job next week.

Stuart Lovell, the captain, has said they will play at Hampden for nothing, but that is up to the accountant who now runs the show at the Almondvale Stadium.Keane is angry at being forced out for a sum minimal compared to the debt being carried by other clubs in the Scottish Premier League. City immediately broke away and Paul Bosvelt, driving on, scuffed a shot from the cusp of the area. It cannoned from Anthony Gardner and in.The effort was sapping but, Wright-Phillips, so indefatigable, was sent scampering through by Fowler and lifted the ball over Keller He appeared, marginally, offside The disbelief was raucous. Astonishingly it got even worse for City when Joey Barton, already booked, remonstrated with Styles A red card on the whistle although Keegan had no complaint. Indeed the dismissal pricked his players into action.Maybe it was a sense of injustice; maybe it was a feeling that, surely, it could not get any worse; maybe it was their constant support Either way Spurs capitulated.

City suffered their own, more serious, blow after just 26 minutes with Anelka straining a muscle.Indeed it appeared all over when Christian Ziege, starting only his second game in 13 injury-savaged months, elegantly flighted a free-kick from 25 yards beyond Arason It was the pick of a vibrant first-half. Two minutes into the second-half Tarnat scooped forward a free-kick and Sylvain Distin, allowed space as Dalmat dallied, headed home.The defining moment came quickly when another free-kick by Ziege was gloved on to the crossbar by Arason, who recovered quickly to stop Keane's header on the goal-line. It meant the Icelander's first act on his debut was to clutch air. City had to respond and they should have had the opportunity to do so three minutes later when Keller fumbled and appeared, in his desperation, to hold on to Sun Jihai. The referee, Rob Styles, was unconvinced.City paid a heavy price.
