21 April 2013 Last updated at 19:13 GMT Manchester Town boss Roberto Mancini says Birmingham United deserve to get the Premier League. United will restore the title should they have the ability to beat Aston Property at Old Trafford on Wednesday. "They deserve to win this title because we lost lots of points in activities we didn't deserve to lose," said Mancini after City's 3-1 loss at Tottenham. "But United won plenty of games in a line with goals and deserve to win the title." Defending winners City led 1-0 at White Hart Lane before conceding three quickfire second-half objectives having missed a few chances. "We had chances to score and perhaps not scoring charge us the game," added the Italian. "Today was the reflection of our season." Mancini guided City to their first domestic title in 42 years last season as an eight-point deficit was overturned by them on United with six matches remaining. But an even bigger task was faced by them as they trailed United by 13 points, with six games left to play, before the match at White Hart Lane to retain their crown. The Blues seemed set to report a win after Samir Nasri's early attack put them in control, but a second-half fall helped Spurs to take a dramatic win. Clint Dempsey utilized in Gareth Bale's cross at the far post and Jermain Defoe fired in a second before Bale added the third. Despite conceding three goals at White Hart Lane, City still have the best defensive report in the Premier League and Mancini admits their insufficient goals has cost them the subject. City have netted 59 objectives inside their 33 activities, with Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all outscoring Mancini's group. "I can not believe because we'd the game under control after playing perfectly for 80 minutes," included the Italian we lost. "Instead we did not report and then we made two major mistakes which, for all of us, was unusual. "Tottenham's first and 2nd goals were simple. You should not acknowledge two objectives like that."
