Micah Richards' second-half header gave Manchester City a hard earned 1-0 win against 10-man Sunderland on Sunday.
The young England defender towered above the Black Cats defence to break the deadlock from Elano's free-kick, with Robinho on hand to make sure the ball crossed the line.
The goal ended a difficult first hour of the match for the hosts at Eastlands who had seen their side frustrated against 10 men and Robinho miss a first-half penalty.
Steed Malbranque conceded the spot-kick with his reckless challenge on Richards, but Robinho's stuttering technique did not fool Martin Fulop and the goalkeeper kept his side in it right to the end.
All this after George McCartney had been sent off in the 15th minute when tugging back Shaun Wright-Phillips as the winger was trying to latch on to a through ball into the box.
