City piles misery on Swansea with late Toure goal

Premier League – Follow the Football match between Manchester City and Swansea City live with Eurosport. “We have the week to work before we play Arsenal”.

Moyes, speaking to TalkSPORT, added: “Swansea have had a really good model”.

“But it is three important points”.

Pellegrini felt Toure was City’s outstanding player.

And in an address to the Swans squad ahead of their daunting trip to the Etihad, he is understood to have told the players they must accept part of the blame for the departure of Monk after over a decade at the club as first a player, then manager.

He just came back from an injury in his calf and he played in midweek and today so I’m happy for him. The goal was a reward. I can say for sure I gave all those things and more. “It doesn’t matter if it is Yaya’s goal or Kelechi’s goal”.

Bet365 make Manchester City 3/10 favourites, with Swansea priced at 10/1.

A run of just one win in 11 games ultimately cost Monk his job, and caretaker boss Alan Curtis has an unenviable first game in the temporary hotseat.

“But maybe that’s the difference between the teams at the bottom and the teams at the top – that bit of luck”.

Manuel Pellegrini: “I don’t think the problem of Swansea was the manager”. “When Gomis scored, I thought it would’ve been a fantastic point for us”. So many people had written us off.

“We need to maintain that standard”. It was Ighalo’s 10th goal of the season, while Lukaku has 12.

The Welshman, who was widely considered to be a candidate to replace van Gaal at Old Trafford, is reportedly open to the possibility of joining Swansea. Wes Hoolahan equalised for the struggling Canaries.

First-team coach Alan Curtis will serve as caretaker boss for Swansea City while the club looks for a new manager, as Garry Monk was sacked after a slow start to the season. Wilfried Bony, who left Swansea for 25 million pounds ($38 million) in January, put City in front with a 26th-minute header. Iheanacho was credited with the goal after the ball hit his back and changed direction and looped into the net.

Pellegrini sounded only partially satisfied with the victory.

City’s recent form has been patchy, with just three wins from seven games in all competitions.

West Ham United, eighth, and Stoke City, 11th, missed the chance to close in on the leaders as they fought out a boring goalless draw at Upton Park.
