Man City boss Pellegrini: We'll get Dzeko back to his Wolfsburg form

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says he can get Edin Dzeko back to his very best.

Although Pellegrini refused to get carried away with the 4-0 win, Dzeko's man of the match-winning performance was one aspect that did leave him purring.

"I trust Edin Dzeko," Pellegrini declared, "it was a pity he didn't score because he had a lot of chances and he played very well.

"We knew with the ball that he's a very good player but I think he played very well without the ball tonight. He had some important chances and he deserved to score today.

"I spoke to him when I first arrived and I told him that he will do very well for us.

"I am sure we are now going to see the Edin Dzeko that City bought from Wolfsburg two years ago."
