We made that hard for ourselves , didn't we?
We had more shots on target than them , and almost as many off target as they had , yet once again we find ourselves clinging on to win a game.
But we can't grumble , just as i predicted we'd win here , we did ...... it's a great three points at the end of the day , despite both sides having injury troubles.
Excellent performances from all concerned , but especially Elano , Ireland and Robinho ...... with others such as Kompany not far behind ...... albeit Elano didn't need to carry out one ridiculous challenge that could have got him red-carded , as did Shay Given too .(despite the provocation)
Dunne almost collected his usual own goal , but luckily it went wide ...... and really , at the end of the day , we could have scored half a dozen here , and maybe should have!
Seven minutes injury time let a side back into the game who haven't failed to score at home this season , but you never really felt as though we were in trouble up until that point.
Well done City ....... just a pity that Fulham won ..... but then again , what have Stoke EVER done for us????
