Tevez takes advantage of Wigan’s generosity

NO matter how many holding midfielders Roberto Mancini selects, he knows Carlos Tevez will always be there to rescue him.

But it was only the kind of generosity normally associated with Manchester City’s transfer business from Wigan’s defence that helped secure a win that moves Mancini’s side into fourth spot..

With Gareth Barry, Nigel de Jong and Yaya Toure passing square to each other, there was precious little penetration until Tevez capitalised on poor defending just before the interval and then set up a second for Toure midway through the second period.
