Premier League - Man City start 2014 with victory at Swansea

Manchester City kicked off the calendar year with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Swansea in driving rain at the Liberty Stadium to keep the pressure on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.

Fernandinho lashed through a crowded penalty area to edge the visitors ahead after Swansea had failed to clear a corner as City started brightly.
The hosts grew into the half and equalised in stoppage time when Wilfried Bony headed Angel Rangel’s cross into the bottom corner, although replays suggested the Ivorian striker was offside.
But Yaya Toure restored City’s lead shortly after the restart when his shot hit the unfortunate Ashley Williams to take it past Gerhard Tremmel before Aleksandar Kolarov ran from inside his own half and fired home his side’s third.
