On the first day of 2012, two matches were played in the English Premier League.
An unexpected victory was achieved by the Sunderland team, who beat Man City 1-0 thanks to a goal in the 93rd minute. Roberto Mancini's team dominated most of the match, but despite 19 shots on goal, they couldn't break through the host's defense and paid dearly for it.
However, Sunderland also had opportunities, but Nicklas Bendtner and Stephane Sessegnon failed to score. On the other side of the field, Edin Dzeko and Micah Richards were blocked by the crossbar.
Losing for only the second time this season, Man City missed a great opportunity to pull away from the Man Utd team, who sensationally lost to Blackburn on Saturday. Both Manchester clubs now have 45 points each.
Results:
West Bromwich 0 - 1 Everton
87' [0 - 1] V.Anichebe
Sunderland 1 - 0 Man City
90' [1 - 0] D.Ji
