City Stage A Stunning Comeback To Win Capital One Cup

Manchester City produced a stunning comeback as they beat Sunderland 3-1 to lift the Capital One Cup at Wembley.

Sunderland threatened a major shock when Fabio Borini gave them a half-time lead with a superb solo effort.

Toure cancelled out Borini’s opener with a sublime effort from 30 yards out and less than a minute later Nasri broke Sunderland hearts with another brilliant finish.

City continued to push forward in search of a third goal and they had claims for a penalty waved away just before the hour mark when Kolarov went down in the box under a challenge from Phil Bardsley.

Sunderland refused to lie down and substitute Steven Fletcher had a sight of goal on 72 minutes when Jack Colback teed him inside the box, but his half volley was straight at Pantilimon.

City almost grabbed a third goal nine minutes from time when Kompany got on the end of a corner from Nasri and was unlucky to see his volley fall the wrong side of the near post.

Fletcher wasted a great opening a minute from time when the ball dropped to him inside the box, but his first touch let him down the chance went begging.

Sunderland were made to pay for that miss as City caught them on the break and Toure passed for Navas to score and seal the victory.
