Unstoppable Tevez shows way for City
Date published: 30 March 2010
MANCHESTER City boss Roberto Mancini must hope Carlos Tevez can keep scoring in the last seven games of the Premier League season.
The striker is turning out to be the Blues’ lucky mascot after arriving from Manchester United last summer.
City have yet to lose a league game in which Tevez has scored — and so it was again last night.
He grabbed a second–half hat–trick in the 3–0 victory against Wigan to improve his side’s chances of a Champions League slot next season.
Tevez took full advantage of defender Gary Caldwell’s controversial dismissal in the 55th minute for a challenge on him.
He made the breakthrough in the 72nd minute with a clinical finish after a mix–up between Paul Scharner and goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic.
He doubled his tally three minutes later, scoring at the back post after Vincent Kompany had flicked on a cross from Adam Johnson.
Tevez (26) completed his hat–trick in the 85th minute. He skipped away from a tiring Scharner and Titus Bramble to chip into the corner for his 25th goal of the season.
