Peter Crouch's own goal ensured Manchester City will make their debut in the Champions League next season as Roberto Mancini's side overcame Tottenham 1-0 at Eastlands on Tuesday. Crouch broke City's hearts last season by scoring the winner which denied City a place in the Champions League But in a huge twist of fate, Crouch put past his own keeper while trying to clear a 30th minute cross by James Milner to guarantee FA Cup finalists City a top-four finish in the Premier League. Mancini's men are at the very least guaranteed a play-off place in the Champions League. Yet with two games remaining, they could yet overtake third-placed Arsenal, who they trail by two points, and qualify for the group stages. City captain Vincent Kompany said: "It (the win) doesn't mean we are in the Champions League as we would have to play the qualifying round," said the Belgian international. "So why not get Arsenal? We feel they may drop points and we will get six points."
