Fourth spot in our hands - Mancini

by Admin , 15 March 2010 Man City Generic

Roberto Mancini claims Manchester City's hopes of a securing a top-four finish rests in their own hands after the draw at Sunderland.


The City boss watched as 22-year-old January signing Adam Johnson rescued his side a valuable point with a stunning injury-time effort at the Stadium of Light just as Sunderland looked like holding on for a win courtesy of Kenwyne Jones' ninth-minute header.

The point has put City to within two points of Spurs in fourth place with a game in hand and Mancini feels it is down to them to pick up the points required to take the Champions League spot.

"There is no change. We have one game in hand, we must play against Tottenham at home, we must play against Aston Villa," the Italian said.

"We have 10 games to play and it will all depend on us.

"But I think if we want to reach fourth spot, we must win these games."
