Easy for Man CityMan City 1-0 Sunderland
Defender Micah Richards spared team-mate Robinho's blushes by scoring Manchester City's winner against 10-man Sunderland at Eastlands.
Sunderland were up against it in the 15th minute when George McCartney was shown red for pulling back Shaun Wright-Phillips on the edge of the box.
Robinho then had a penalty saved by Marton Fulop after Steed Malbranque was judged to have fouled Richards.
City's goal came after the break when Richards headed in Elano's free-kick.
Victory was just about deserved for a City side who had a man advantage for the majority of the game, but often found it desperately difficult to break down a resolute Sunderland.

Not as many tears as there is in Boro and Newcastle... l think Boro are doomed..play Newcastle in a few weeks...what a game that will be...
Might be all sorted by then anyway...
But might do us good to go down we have a flimsy squad and havent gelled very well...can only hope l guess...Bolton on Saturday away...be hard going yet again..
Cheers
