Tevez tears Wigan apart to boost City’s Euro hopes

IF they manage to get Champions League football, no-one at Eastlands will remember how much anxiety and nerves there were on the way but this was another horrible night for Roberto Mancini’s side before Carlos Tevez scored three times to bring some relief.

Victory, secured by two goals that came after Wigan’s Gary Caldwell was harshly sent off, moves City up to fifth in the table, two points behind Tottenham, who still have to travel to Eastlands.

He now has 21 goals in 19 appearances and City really do have to wonder where they would be without him.
