The visitors started brightly in the opening five minutes, but City soon gained the upper hand and eventually went ahead through Carlos Tevez.

The Argentinian beat Jonathan Bond with a superb 25-yard effort.

Fernando Forestieri had a glorious chance to level the score just moments later, but Costel Pantilimon came to City's rescue with a decent save.

Gareth Barry then made it 2-0 just before the break with a header to cap off a free-flowing attacking move.

The hosts continued to dominate the game and they sealed the win in the final minute when Marcos Lopes came off the bench to convert.
