With his brace in the win at Chelsea, Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez reached the 20-goal barrier.

Fifteen of those are in the League - he had just five last season - keeping him in the frame for the Golden Boot.

He told City's website: "That would be an achievement against such as Wayne Rooney and Didier Drogba.

"But what is important is that the team should win. It will be difficult to finish fourth but we are at home to Tottenham, Villa, Manchester United. We must play like we did at Chelsea."

Tevez, who missed four games on compassionate leave, dedicated his first goal to daughter Katia and added: "I trained every day so I am physically OK. I want to thank the fans and the people of Manchester for their concern - my family is OK now."
