Fulham vs Manchester City Highlights: EPL Highlights

Carlos Tevez showed no mercy towards his old manager Mark Hughes at Craven Cottage as Manchester City romped to a victory that saw them close to within three points of the Premier League leader Chelsea.

Twelve months ago Hughes was the man profiting from the South American’s lethal form in front of goal.

Now it is Roberto Mancini who is reaping two goals and a man-of-the-match display from the inspirational South American.

Indeed, as Mancini reflects on a table that shows his side to be bang in the title hunt, as well as more money to strengthen in January than any of their rivals – and four more goals on the road to answer the critics who have criticized him for being too negative, the Italian could be forgiven for having a large chuckle to himself.

Pablo Zabaleta and Yaya Toure struck within a three-minute period at the end of the first half after Tevez had given City a perfect start with an early goal.

And although Zoltan Gera netted a consolation for the home side, Tevez had already killed the contest with a fourth for the Blues, who would have to be rated as strong championship challengers in this crazy season, if only they can start playing at home as they do away.

For a side said to be lacking in team spirit and certainly lacking a few goals after successive goalless draws, this was precisely the kind of win they needed to get things in order.
