Man City 1-0 Swansea | Barclays Premier League | 27-10-12
- 10 years ago
Manchester City stuttered to an unconvincing win over a battling Swansea in the longest game in Premier League history.
Carlos Tevez's stunner rescued Roberto Mancini's team as they followed up their midweek European disappointment with another lacklustre display.
Keeper Joe Hart had kept the hosts in the game with two saves from Michu.
But Tevez's 30-yard strike on the hour gave the hosts the three points and sent the champions second in the table.
Both managers, however, will be concerned as each had a star player carried off on a stretcher, Swans goalkeeper Michel Vorm and Blues defender Micah Richards suffering worrying injuries.
Each required lengthy treatment on the field, racking up a record 12 minutes of added time.
