David Silva has compounded Sunderland’s misery by adding yet another tally to Manchester City’s scoresheet. Phil Bardsley had been tormented by Adam Johnson throughout the first half, so he was pulled off the pitch in favour of Ahmed Elmohamedy, with Anton Ferdinand shuffling over to left back to cover. Turns out that didn’t go so well either.
Manchester City Vs. Sunderland: David Silva Cleans Up To Make It 3-0
Carlos Tevez rather easily got the better of Ferdinand on City’s right flank before sending in a low pass to Mario Balotelli, who attempted some sort of backheel flick thingy that was well blocked by Michael Turner. Unfortunately for Sunderland’s toiling defence, the first player to react to the loose ball was wearing sky blue. David Silva nipped in between the defenders and dinked the ball over a helpless Simon Mignolet to make the score 3-0.
Adam Johnson’s work for the evening is done, incidentally, the winger replaced by Patrick Viera in what’s assumedly a defensive move. It’s a party for Manchester City now.
