Tottenham rallied from their shock loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend to become just the second team after Manchester United to beat City this season.
Kranjcar and winger Aaron Lennon starred for Tottenham at White Hart Lane, but England striker Peter Crouch was instrumental in Spurs' first two goals.
His header was blocked and rebounded for Kranjcar to score the 37th-minute opener and he flicked on a long punt by goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes in the 54th for Jermain Defoe to tap in from close range for his 17th goal of the season.
Kranjcar then beat two defenders and slipped the ball under goalkeeper Shay Given to complete the scoring in injury time.
Spurs rose to 30 points, two fewer than Arsenal and fourth-placed Aston Villa.
