Pablo Zabaleta gets nervous Man City back on track

Manchester City 2 Watford 0: Pablo Zabaleta’s first goal in over two years set Manchester City on their way to a nervous victory over Watford which confirmed the theory that Pep Guardiola’s revolution is still very much a work in progress.

Not until David Silva scored a second goal, on the breakaway five minutes from time, did City and their supporters look truly convinced that they would record their first home league win since September 17.

After Yaya Toure dispossessed Sebastian Prodl, Silva and Raheem Sterling broke upfield, exchanged passes, and the Spaniard convincingly killed off the game from 15 yards.
