Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has said that his side were terrific after they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

Vincent Kompany was sent off for the hosts on 75 minutes which led to Stephen Hunt scoring from the spot, but Adam Johnson's goal at the death sealed the win for the Blues.

"We're sure that it was a difficult game because you can have a lot of chances like we did today, but if you don't score, of you find the keeper like today it's difficult," said Mancini.

"We had a problem with the sending off but in the last 25 minutes with ten men I thought we were terrific."

The win has kept City five points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
