Mancini's Manchester City grab second straight win
0 Comments
Carlos Tevez scored twice to enable Roberto Mancini's Manchester City into second win in row in a convincing 3-0 Premier League away victory at Wolves on Monday.
City stayed sixth in the standings, but they moved level on points with Aston Villa and gave Mancini a perfect gift in Christmas holiday as the new manager tasted sweet two wins in three days following Saturday's 2-0 win over Stoke City.
Argentina striker Tevez finished a neat move in the 33rd minute before Spain midfielder Javier Garrido caught Wolves cold on a freezing night with a brilliant curling and low free-kick in the 69th minute.
Former Manchester United forward Tevez rounded things off four minutes from time with a well-taken second goal as City recorded a second straight clean sheet under their Italian manager.
Craig Bellamy could have put the visitors in front early on, the Wales striker blazing over the crossbar from close range but he turned provider to set up Tevez's opener.
Tevez scored his seventh goal in seven games with the aid of a deflection off Christophe Berra that wrong footed American goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann.
Both teams might then have scored, with City goalkeeper Shay Given saving with his legs to deny Doyle.
