Nutmeg: Wilfried Bony showed another side to his game against Mali.

Manchester City fans may be licking their wounds after being dumped out of the FA Cup by Middlesbrough, but their new signing Wilfried Bony has at least given them something to smile about.

The Ivorian – renowned for his physicality and finishing ability rather than his skills – pulled off a textbook ‘elastico’ to nutmeg an opposing defender and leave him on the floor in his side’s African Cup of Nations group match with Mali.

The ex-Swansea City man might have cost City an eyebrow-raising £28 million, but if he can keep pulling off moments like this that fee will be long forgotten.
