Tevez celebrates his city winnerManchester 100 percent of Chelsea start the season ended with a major victory on the champions at Eastlands.Carlos Tevez has retained its recent record fine against Chelsea with goal just before the hour mark.
The Argentinean ACE scoring in both games against the side of Carlo Ancelotti last term, caught a pass from Yaya Toure just inside the city half and went unchallenged against a defense of Chelsea indent before triggering a bass crossed in Ashley Cole the legs inside the post.
In a game of few chances that Chelsea nearest pounced was when Branislav Ivanovic struck the woodwork in the first half.
Was a bit odd that preparations for a Premier League game between the biggest spenders should focus around their injury problems.
But that's exactly how it came out, Ancelotti alleging that he had only 12 players fit, that was a more than Mancini.
Defensively, city are struggling with Joleon Lescott nor Jerome Boateng-who made his debut as a substitute late-considered fit enough to start.
And since Wayne Bridge hadn't hosts an aptitude test in a thigh injury which was foreseen would keep him out for another fortnight anyway, Mancini was for 19-year-old Belgian Dedryck Boyata, normally a centre-half, just to make his fourth appearance of League.
Boyata rewarded his manager with a solid contribution to a city's performance defensive obdurate.
Only once have been the hosts opened correctly, and that had nothing to do with the teenager.
Actually it was Tevez drifted away Florent Malouda, he anticipated a return passage of Didier Drogba, who had just taken a corner to the left of Chelsea.
Movement of Tevez gave Malouda space to scroll a deep cross to the far post where Alex waved him back to Ivanovic.
The Serbian had two goes to put Chelsea in front.The first came back off the bar, giving you a header to go to the second, this time Joe Hart making a saving comfortable.
Apart from that, both goalmouths were largely underutilized.
Knowing this was their biggest test of the season so far and without Frank Lampard to lead them on midfield, Chelsea were satisfied playing inside themselves, maintain a fairly rigid and let the city to spend their energy trying to break them down.
For its part, the home team managed to get enough support for Tevez, who worked incredibly hard in front on his own, but was limited to speculative long-range efforts.
In such circumstances, it was almost a surprise began to get a little tetchy and Pablo Zabaleta reservation for a sliding tackle frenzied on Ivanovic gave way to a period of play scarred by physical confrontation.
The first two minutes of the second time produced by very intense action, had been around the first.
After Hart had pushed a ripple that Nicolas Anelka shot out of danger, Michael Essien should have done much better with the corner of near-post submit your header sail over the bar after being harvested completely cleared.
The city responded with his first significant assault on the goal of Chelsea Cech, who forced to make a decent low write to deny Silva.
He proved to be the prelude to the deadlock is broken. Yaya Toure and Silva nippy deserve mentions his passing and rushing respectively after Susan had suffered possession just inside the city half.
The rest was all Tevez works as he ran fiercely in defense of visitors, jinked on your right then blasted a shot through the legs of Cole and the net off the Interior of the Cech right post.Double-click Essien tried long-range level. twice your radar was way off and the ball sailed along.
Alex glanced a header level after its performance had spotted Boyata effective to stay reserved to cut down Yuri Zhirkov, but with Cole Twine also a shot into the side-netting, exhausted the Chelsea ideas.
After beating Chelsea twice last season as well, city are getting enough to like this.
