Manchester City Vs. Stoke City, 2011 FA Cup Final: First Chance Falls To Carlos Tevez

That's a good save from Thomas Sorensen, who had to fling himself to his left to deny Carlos Tevez after the Argentinian forward cut in from the Manchester City left and launched a thunderous right-footed shot towards the far corner. A fine shot, and a fine save, and Yaya Toure wasn't quite able to find the inevitable rebound. That's the find major chance of the day, but City look in the mood to create more, especially down the left where Mario Balotelli is causing problems.

City win another corner after Yaya Toure and Balotelli link up, and although the initial delivery is dire from Aleksandar Kolarov the ball eventually pings out to Nigel de Jong, who attempts a speculative shot which is about as accurate as one might expect if you picture de Jong shooting under pressure from 25 yards. Seconds later, Ryan Shawcross comes within a yard of scoring an own goal after deflecting a Kolarov cross just about to the safe side of the post - and now Toure has just creamed one past Sorensen's post with the goalkeeper well beaten. All City right now.
