City rout re-ignites title bid !
Manchester City are now only five points behind their rivals after a 4-0 triumph over West Brom. The night's results mean City only need United to drop points in one further match for their title destiny to fall back into their own hands.
Roberto Mancini's men are beginning to believe again on a night that was significant for the sight of Carlos Tevez back on the starting team-sheet. Not since September had the Argentinian started a league game for City, and he marked the occasion with a goal although it was compatriot Sergio Aguero who took centre stage.
Six minutes was all it took for Aguero to brush aside several pursuers, unleashing a fine drive from 25 yards to beat Ben Foster.
The match then went noticeably quiet until news of Wigan's goal against United filtered into the stadium. Immediately Aguero doubled City's advantage with a delicious curling effort, and Tevez then heightened the noise at Eastlands with a third, assisted by Aguero.

David Silva contributed a fourth as City showed the type of form that has eluded them in recent weeks, and the Spaniard's strike was arguably the best of the night. Advancing on Foster's goal, Silva dinked the ball over the Baggies keeper to cap a good night for Mancini's men.
