Cartoon of the Day: Invisible man Samir Nasri's hole in the wall costs Manchester City the derby
Posted Monday, December 10, 2012 by Sports.yahoo.com
Manchester City's unbeaten start to the Premier League season came crashing to an end with a 3-2 home defeat at the hands of archrivals Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
The champions looked to have hauled themselves back into the game at 2-2, having initially trailed following Wayne Rooney's first half double, before Robin van Persie's free-kick took a killer deflection off Samir Nasri in the City wall and slipped beyond the reach of Joe Hart into the back of the net.
Manager Roberto Mancini was far from happy, stating: "We made a mistake and only put three players there. Actually we had only had two-and-a-half players there."
