Premier League clash between Manchester City vs Bolton at Ewood Park.
FULL-TIME Manchester City 2-0 Bolton
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini on reports Mario Balotelli was out until the early hours of Friday morning:
“I didn’t read the newspapers. I will speak to him tomorrow before deciding about the maximum fine I will do. I’m really disappointed. I need to speak to him because I don’t know what has happened. I will stick with him because he’s a good player but I will speak to him tomorrow about the fine. Maybe he missed four goals for this reason.”

GOAL Manchester City 1-0 Bolton – Gael Clichy (23 mins)
Manchester City’s pressure finally pays off as they find a goal from an unlikely source. Gael Clichy lines up a shot from a long way out, but his left-footed effort takes a big deflection off the head of Gretar Steinsson to beat Adam Bogdan at his near post.
GOALManchester City 2-0 Bolton – Mario Balotelli (69 mins)
Mario Balotelli doubles the league leaders’ advantage – but he owes it all to winger Adam Johnson. Johnson bamboozles Sam Ricketts and Zat Knight to get inside the area before slippping past David Wheater and back-heeling the ball past Adam Bogdan to leave the Italian with a tap-in. Just quality from the England winger.
