Posted by admin | 10 years ago | 2,461 times



Edin Dzeko scored a goal in each half as Manchester City recovered from losing a two-goal lead to beat Hull City 4-2 at the KC Stadium.

Early goals from Sergio Aguero and Dzeko put the visitors in front before Hull responded before half-time, only for Dzeko and Frank Lampard to earn their side the points in the second period.

The champions took the lead on seven minutes when Aguero took advantage of some slack home defending to angle a drive beyond Allan McGregor.

Just four minutes later, it was 2-0 when David Silva fed Dzeko and the Bosnian striker curled a thumping shot from the edge of the area over McGregor.

But Hull were helped back into the game on 21 minutes when Liam Rosenior powered down the right and his cross was headed into his own net by Eliaquim Mangala.

The summer signing from Porto then gave the home side the chance to equalise on 32 minutes when his high boot caught Abel Hernandez and the Hull striker converted the penalty.

Yaya Toure crashed a long-distance drive against the post early in the second half before the visitors regained the lead on 68 minutes when Dzeko rolled a low shot past McGregor.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side put the game to bed with three minutes to go when substitute Lampard was presented with a simple finish from Pablo Zabaleta’s pull-back.
