Manchester City manager Sven Goran-Eriksson is focusing on one game at a time as the Premier League season draws to a close. Eriksson saw his side recover from going a goal down to beat Tottenham 2-1 on Sunday, a result which keeps alive their hopes of achieving UEFA Cup qualification.

However, with limited spaces available and a whole host of clubs still very much in the running for them, former England boss Eriksson is refusing to be drawn on the possibility of City sneaking a UEFA Cup place for the first time in five years.

"This time we are not going to get carried away, it is Bolton away in the next game and that's all to talk about," the Swede told the club's official website.

"Then we'll see at the end of the season what's happening.

"You are dragged into it because everyone speaks about it. Let's be happy for the win (against Spurs) and concentrate from Tuesday and Wednesday on Bolton.

"I'm not talking about Europe or the Fair Play or Intertoto qualification. We will concentrate on Bolton and that's it."

The victory over Spurs was City's first win at home in the league this year and Eriksson admits that it was a relief to put their recent troubles behind them.

"It was an extremely important victory for us because if we would have lost you are almost afraid that the heads will go down amongst the fans and amongst the players as well," he said.

"But they showed good spirit and now this is a small turning point for the last eight games."

Eriksson was also delighted by the way his side recovered after Robbie Keane's opener for the visitors.

"It shows strength to do that," he said.

"I read recently that it only happens 10 per cent of the time when a team concedes first to come back and win the game in the Premier League.

"So that's a good statistic and we are one of them, maybe it's 11 per cent now!"

The Blues' boss also signalled out England Under-21 defender Nedum Onuoha for special praise after he grabbed his first goal for the club to give City the win.

"It's good to see a centre-half score from a corner," said Eriksson.

"We haven't seen that this season and I heard that it was Onuoha's first goal in the Premier League - very good.

"Every game Onuoha plays for us I must say it's more and more difficult to leave him out because every time he plays he does very well for us."
