Darren Bent scored a last-gasp penalty while Carlos Tevez missed a sitter as Manchester City slumped to a 1-0 defeat at Sunderland. More
90+5 That's it! City are stunned! They lose at Sunderland and, after that rotten second-half performance, it seems nothing has changed. They were awol.
90+4 GOAL SUNDERLAND! BENT HAS WON IT! He put the penalty low to Hart's left and he almost got it but the ball snuck in! Sunderland win it at the death and they deserve it for their second-half performance.
90+3 El-Mohamady on the right, he has plenty of space and he sends in a wicked cross that BENT CAN MEET but Richards hauls him down! Penalty!
90+2 CITY SUB: Tevez trudges off, he's done nothing this half, with Jo on in his place.
89' Bent is sent scurrying down the left by Malbranque, he gets one-on-one with Richards and doesn't fancy it so cuts it back to Henderson who can finish but Barry blocks!
81' CITY SUB: Silva on for Johnson. How about that for a bench.
78' WHAT A SAVE FROM MIGNOLET! Milner put the corner far post, Richards headed it across goal and Adebayor smacked a volleyed backheel towards the top right but, from close to point-blank range, the young Belgian tipped it away. Save of the weekend.
75' CITY SUB: Adebayor comes on for Lescott, so a tactical switch too. City to go 4-4-2 witrh Barry left-back.
70' Sunderland still keeping the ball as El-Mohamady crosses in but nodded away by Kolo just in time!
68' Break from Sunderland, Welbeck on the charge, he finds Bent, he cuts it back, blocked but Welbeck again but he blasts over!
57' El-Mohamady with a trademark cross-shot that Hart scrambles back to tip over for a corner. It looks like a fluke but he's scored with them a couple of times for Egypt and ENPPI, and has hit wood too.
55' Kompany with a hesitant piece of defending leaves the ball with Bent in there but Hart flies out to parry away.
46' The second half begins.
- SUNDERLAND CHANGES: Campbell (knee) and Turner (ankle) cannot continue so Welbeck and Bardsley are on in their places.
45+4 Yaya Toure follows that up with a header well wide from the corner. A touch of late drama but, Tevez's horror miss aside, a tepid first half.
45+3 Milner takes a whack from Henderson and City have a free-kick on the left. They’re persisting with treatment on Campbell when it looks like they should get him to a hospital. Milner swing in the free-kick, it comes off the back of Ferdinand’s head AND TOURE MUST SCORE but deflected wide by Mignolet!
45' Campbell is cluchting his knee in agony after an innocuous collision with Richards. That looks bad as there was no kick, just an awkward landing.
32' Toure and Tevez lead a rapid break, a one-two-three and Toure is in but Mignolet rushes out to claim at his feet.
28' Tevez gets hold of the ball on the edge of the box after a shocking lapse from Richardson lets Richards in, but Tevez’s finish is weak and deflected wide for a corner.
16' El-Mohamady crosses from the right but cleared by Toure. His brother comes forward and Sunderland are wide open, Yaya finds Tevez with Mignolet nowhere AND TEVEZ BUT WHAT A MISS! ROSENTHAL! HORRIFIC! Open goal but he skies it!
1' The match kicks off, big noise in Sunderland.

Do 'holding midfielders' score goals?
What i pathetic little game its become!

I am NOT a Sunderland fan, But you fans don't undersell yourselves, Man City did not play bad, Sunderland just played a lot better than the multi-millionaires.So well done, give credit where it is due.
