Pellegrini delighted as Man City account for Newcastle at St James'

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini was super positive about his side's 2-0 victory over Newcastle United on Sunday.

City went top of the Premier League table after Edin Dzeko and Alvaro Negredo scored late and early goals at St James' Park which thrilled the Chilean boss who was delighted to produce such a performance at a tough venue.

"It was a very big result because it's a very difficult stadium to play here. We, Chelsea and Manchester United know how difficult it is to play Newcastle," he said.

"They have a direct style with a lot of physical power, and the whole game, they were trying to score with crosses and shooting, and we were very concentrated in defending.

"Also, we scored two goals and we had two or three more clear chances to do it."
