adminsoccer title race.
Superb goals by Yaya Toure and Carlos Tevez, following Frank Lampard’s penalty miss, earned City a victory that keeps them 12 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester United.
There are only 11 league games left this season, but, having won the title in stoppage time last season, the Italian remains positive.
Asked if a 15-point gap would have been too far to bridge, Mancini replied: “Maybe.”
But he added: “In football, it’s finished when it’s finished, in the last minute of the last game.
“If we arrive with four games to go and United are 12 points ahead, it’s finished, but our job is to continue to work.
“For us, it’s not important to look at the table, only to continue to work like today, to play well and to improve because we can improve. Only this and maybe look at the table in one month.”
Manchester United have shown few signs of relinquishing their lead and beat bottom-placed QPR 2-0 on Saturday to open up a 15-point gap before City’s win the following day. — BBC Sport.
