Dzeko late show
An 88th-minute winner from substitute Edin Dzeko gave defending champions Manchester City a 2-1 win at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday that took them up to second place in the Premier League.
The visitors successfully marshalled City's attacking players in the opening stages at the Etihad Stadium and went ahead in the 21st minute when Caulker met Tom Huddlestone's free-kick with a header that Joe Hart fumbled over the line.
Carlos Tevez and Zabaleta both tested Spurs goalkeeper Brad Friedel in the minutes prior to half-time, before Aguero drew the hosts level in the 65th minute.
David Silva's pass was inadvertently diverted into Aguero's path by a Spurs player and the Argentine cut inside Caulker before rolling the ball past Friedel.
Silva shot wide and Friedel saved well from Aguero, but victory looked set to elude the home side until Silva picked out Dzeko with a chipped pass and the Bosnian hooked a left-foot half-volley into the roof of the net.
