adminLONDON. — Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is delighted that his side’s careless away form in the Premier League has finally given way to a new-found consistency on the road.
Goals from Fernandinho, Yaya Toure and Aleksandar Kolarov in a 3-2 win at Swansea City on Wednesday earned Pellegrini’s side another valuable three points in their pursuit of the title.
Having won only one of their first six away games this season, City have now won three of their last four fixtures away from the Etihad.
“I’m very pleased because we played against a very difficult team,” Pellegrini said.
Swansea play very good football, away and at home, so to beat them here, in their stadium, is very important for us. I think the most important thing of the performance was the second and the third goals.
“We knew that it would be very difficult for us, but the team had the character to change things.
“Yaya was very important because he scored the second goal at the right moment. — AFP.
