That's that, and what a good display from Everton. They dominated City in all departments and ran out very comfortable winners. Mancini will wonder where City's spirit and fight disappeared off to while Davey Moyes looks delighted.
- 93'
Bellamy hits the wall, then Zabaleta blazes over. Let the inquest begin....
- 92'
Zabaleta is upended by Pienaar and City have a free kick in front of goal, about 25 yards out.
- 91'
Everton's last change: Donovan goes off and Jose Baxter is on.
- 90'
Three minutes added...
- 88'
Everton are running down the clock here, and Mancini is about to taste his first defeat.
- 86'
Fellaini does a Zidane turn as Bellamy overrun the ball. That was a touch of class and the crowd went mental. The ole's come out....

Bilyaletdinov wins a corner after Vaughan harried Zabaleta.
- 84'
Everton change: Louis Saha comes off and James Vaughan is on.
- 83'
Mancini shows he's still got it with an exquisite piece of control on the sidelines. That's the best we've seen from City, right there.
- 82'
City win a free kick and Cahill collects it three yards from goal under pressure from Tevez before hacking it away.
- 81'
Cahill hits the bar! Baines swings in a brilliant cross and Cahill rises above Kompany to nod the ball back across goal, where it promptly slaps the crossbar and is cleared. City are being pasted here.
- 79'
So, will the Mancini out campaign start here and now?
- 77'
Fellaini meets the corner and only a fantastic save from Shay Given prevents a third. The ball hits the bar and bounces down, where Bilyaletdinov smashes a shot over the bar on the bounce from about six yards out.
- 76'
Donovan's corner is cleared to Pienaar, he curls another ball into the area and Kompany concedes another corner.

Bilyaletdinov does well to block a Zabaleta effort, then he goes down the other end and nearly outwits Given with an overhit cross.

Coleman harries Bellamy brilliantly, much to the Welshman's chagrin. What a disagreeable young man he is.
- 73'
Bilyaletdinov somehow emerges from a melee with the ball but his shot is blocked by Kompany.
- 71'
More uncertainty from Richards who dithers on a long ball with Saha chasing behind him. He ends up taking an awkward touch and banging the ball out for a corner.
- 70'
Seamus Coleman comes on and Sylvain Distin heads off. Presumably, Neville will go to centre half.
- 69'
Good first time effort from Bellamy after Zabaleta knocked Tevez's cross into his path.
- 68'
Saha does well to win the ball back off Barry and then Donovan wins a corner.
- 67'

City win a corner that is cleared, and as Garrido crosses Barry heads across goal where Kompany tries but fails to connect.
