BBC reporter Damian Johnson refers to Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini as "Mario Balotelli" in their post-match interview with Mancini jokingly admitting: "I would like to be Mario because he is young".

City pulled five points clear of Manchester United after a Gretar Steinsson own goal and a simple finish from Balotelli secured City a 2-0 win over Bolton, their 19th consecutive home win in the Premier League.
