Adebayor slays Wolves

22 August 2009 17:55
Emmanuel Adebayor's blistering first-half effort proved enough to earn a 1-0 victory for Manchester City on his home debut. Although newly-promoted Wolves came close to an equaliser when Andy Keogh's effort crashed back off the crossbar, anything other than a home win would have been cruel for Mark Hughes' men, who totally dominated the first hour and created enough clear chances to win several games. There is certainly plenty of room for optimism around the Blues camp just now, and room for improvement given Hughes' on-going pursuit of Joleon Lescott. Developments in the long-running transfer saga are on-going and it is expected Lescott will leave Everton for City at some point over the next week. And, with a trip to crisis club Portsmouth next Sunday, City could well find themselves heading into the international break among the Premier League's pace-setters.
