On this occasion it was debatable whether it was a sending-off at
all but City, reeling from their Champions League exit against
Barcelona and desperately short of domestic form, were not complaining.
They still had to wait until the 27th minute to make
the breakthrough against West Brom's 10 men, when the ball bounced
kindly for Bony in the box and the £25m January signing calmly
side-footed home.
From then on, the result was never in question with
West Brom concentrating on defending in numbers in front of their own
area rather than trying to threaten at the other end.
The Baggies' resistance was broken again five minutes
before the break, when some disastrous defending from a corner allowed
Fernando to pounce and score City's 1,000th Premier League goal.
In total, Manuel Pellegrini's side mustered 26 shots
