Manchester City boss Mark Hughes was delighted with two-goal Stephen Ireland after their draw with Hull City.

He said: "I thought he was outstanding again and he has been in almost every single game he's played in this year.

"He's worked extremely hard in the summer and he came back fit and strong and wanted to be a part of what we're doing here.

"It's another great performance and he's enjoying his football at the moment and he's having a real impact in every game he plays."
