Blackburn Rovers 0 – 2 Manchester City – 15th August – Summer spending pays off

Man City started what will prove to be an important season for Mark Hughes with 2-0 victory away at Ewood Park.

Emmanuel Adebayor showed the City faithful why Hughes decided to stump up £25m for him when the Togo striker opened his City account by scoring a fantastic goal just 3 minutes into his debut.
