Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor insists he's not envious of Carlo Tevez's rich scoring form.

Both strikers were on the scoresheet in this week's win over Bolton Wanderers - and for Tevez is was his 19th of the season.

Adebayor told City's website: "I'm not trying to catch him - if Carlos can win the Golden Boot then I'll be more than happy for him. He's working hard, he's a good player and at the end of the day what is important is that the team achieve things.

"We are all here to bring our skills together to achieve things and make our dreams happen. That's why I left him the penalty against Bolton. I asked him, 'do you want to take it?' and he told me 'yes', so I gave it to him straight away."
