Mancini boosted by Tevez return

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini hopes for plenty more from Carlos Tevez after the once errant striker snatched a 2-2 draw for the champions at Liverpool.

The controversial Argentinian continued his rehabilitation after last season's troubles by pouncing on a Martin Skrtel mistake at Anfield and ensure City avoided a first loss of the season. It capped a lively performance from the rejuvenated 28-year-old, who also scored in last week's defeat of Southampton and in the Community Shield against Chelsea.

Mancini said: "Carlos is in good form at this moment. I am happy for him. It is important he continues to play like he did in these two games."
