Blackburn vs Man City 15th August 2009 Match Report

Blackburn 0: Man City 2

Man City also started the season with a bang after putting 2 past Blackburn. Adebayor, one of City's summer signings, opened the scoring after just 3 minutes and Tevez, one of the other debutants, almost joined him on the scoresheet but in the end it was Ireland who consolidated the win with a second goal. City have therefore passed the first test and come away with 3 points, which was vital after spending £100M in the summer. However the game was not entirely one way and Sam Allardyce's team did threaten at times, demanding an excellent save from Given to prevent Blackburn scoring an equaliser at 1:0. Based on this display, if City are going to break into the top 4, they will need to dig even deeper into their new owners' pockets and bolster their defence further.
