Verdict: Hull City 2 Manchester City 1

City crashed horribly on Humberside, paying the price for a weak first half performance and allowing a competitive Hull to go two goals ahead before Adebayor gave City a lifeline. It wasn’t enough as the third defeat of Mancini’s reign was undoubtedly the worst.

Player ratings: Hull City v Manchester City

Given – No chance with the goals and the Irishman looked rightly furious with what was going on in front of him. 6

Bridge – Not the return we were hoping for. Wayne wasn’t up to speed aside from a shot at the end of the first half. 5
