Despite being without captain Vincent Kompany, Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko through injury, Manuel Pellegrini’s side took advantage of a dismal opening period from the hosts to keep pace with leaders Chelsea. The visitors were handed an early gift courtesy of Ben Foster, as the West Brom goalkeeper dropped a looping Jesus Navas cross eight minutes in. Midfielder Fernando took full advantage to cleverly register his first goal for the club, with ex-City defender Joleon Lescott also aiding his former employers’ cause soon afterwards. David Silva went down under Lescott’s challenge inside the area and, when Yaya Toure subsequently doubled City’s advantage from the penalty spot, they were well on course for a ninth consecutive win in all competitions. Despite rarely getting out of first gear, the champions were three to the good 11 minutes before the interval when Silva calmly steered a strike past Foster. An improved defensive effort from West Brom kept the score respectable after the break, and they finally got on the scoresheet themselves when Brown Ideye turned the ball home after a scramble late on, but it proved too little, too late for Alan Irvine’s men.
