the in-form Manchester City were able to score their 100th goal of the season as they easily came away the victors over Cardiff.

It took only 13 minutes for the hosts to score, thanks to a goal converted expertly by Edin Dzeko.

This was what was needed to inject life into Manuel Pellegrini's team as Alvaro Negredo was close to scoring in the 20th minute and again in the 23rd minute.

However, it was Cardiff City who found the goal next as a left footed shot by Craig Noone in the 29th minute saw the sides go level.

In the 33rd minute, Manchester City midfielder Jesus Navas scored to make it 2-1 much to the delight of the home fans.
