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.

Wolverhampton vs Manchester City Highlights: EPL Highlights

David Edwards scored his first goal for Wolves after more than a year to earn Wolves a shock win over Manchester City and boost their Premier League survival hopes. City went ahead through Emmanuel Adebayor’s penalty and dominated the early part of the match. But Wolves equalised through Nenad Milijas and then Edwards earned Mick McCarthy’s side their first victory since the first match of the campaign.
City started the game as if they were going to win and looked to control the match for long periods in the first half as they threatened to prise open the Wolves defence every time they ventured forward. But after going ahead they seemed content to sit back and played defensively, which allowed Wolves crawl back into the game and they seized the opportunity and all three valuable points.

Nasri put the Gunners ahead 20 minutes into a fiery contest and although Joe Hart’s heroics kept City in contention with a penalty save from Cesc Fabregas, Song and Bendtner killed the tie off. Victory lifted Arsenal back into the top four, above City on goal difference, and contradicted recent criticism of the Londoners’ record against their so-called title rivals.
