On Sunday, in the central English "Premier League" XXVII round matches, the champions "Man City" defended their title in front of their own fans with a 2-0 victory over London "Chelsea."
The match could have taken a different turn if, at the start of the second half, Frank Lampard had been able to convert a penalty kick - his miss against Demba Ba was corrected by Joe Hart.
In the 63rd minute, the hosts finally turned their dominance into a goal when Yaya Toure sent the ball into the goal after a pass from David Silva.
Before the final whistle, Roberto Mancini's players secured their lead with a goal from Carlos Tevez, who came on as a substitute.
