Man City skipper Tevez furious with Mancini over substitution

Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez is furious with manager Roberto Mancini after being substituted in yesterday's victory over Bolton Wanderers.

Tevez scored the winning goal against Bolton to put City within three points of leaders Arsenal but blotted his copybook by shouting at Mancini and brushing him aside after the manager had substituted him in the last minute of normal time.

The Argentine, who had a dressing-room bust up with Mancini earlier in the season, had to be held back by his replacement James Milner. He sulked in his seat as City saw out victory in injury-time.

A friend of Tevez said: "Carlos was extremely disappointed to be substituted because he wants to play every minute of every game."
