Tevez Goal Manchester City 1 - 0 Swansea HD ( Premier League ) 27.10.2012

f Manchester City were looking for a performance to cheer up their supporters after the Ajax defeat that looks to have put paid to this season's Champions League adventure, this was not it. Roberto Mancini's team are still unbeaten in the Premier League, and can proudly point to another three points picked up when not playing particularly well, which is not something they have always been able to boast about, but any other boast based on this display would be hollow. With only slightly better finishing Swansea would have earned at least a point, food for thought for a team that now needs three wins against Ajax, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.Second-best for 45 minutes as a subdued home support took stock of their side's Champions League troubles, City improved after half-time and took the points thanks to a Carlos Tevez goal (61). The Argentine's first in nine games delivered just a second win in five home games, and the impression remains that Roberto Mancini's champions are some way from hitting last season's stride despite sitting just a point off top spot in the Barclays Premier League. And there was further discomfort for the manager when Micah Richards followed Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm in departing on a stretcher with what appeared a serious injury.
