Tevez opens City account

CARLOS TEVEZ opened his Manchester City goals account after the Premier League superstars were given a Carling Cup fright by Crystal Palace.

Joleon Lescott made his debut in a side packed with £200million worth of talent, with Mark Hughes signalling his intent to justify the club’s lavish spending with a trophy this season.

But owner Sheikh Mansour could have been forgiven for checking some of his receipts at half-time with Neil Warnock’s Palace well on top.
