Mancini pleased to have impressed Mansour

Roberto Mancini wishes Sheikh Mansour was around every week to act as Manchester City's lucky charm. Almost two years after he bought the club from Thaksin Shinawatra, City's immensely wealthy owner saw them in Premier League combat for the first time on Monday night. And he could not have picked a better occasion as City delivered a performance fit for a king to demolish Liverpool 3-0 at Eastlands. "The owner was very happy," Mancini said. "It was the first time he saw City and we beat Liverpool so it was a good night. "We don't have time to celebrate with him because we have another match to prepare for in two days but I hope the Sheikh can come every week."
