Manchester City 4 Cardiff 2
Manchester City smashed through the 100-goal barrier for the season as they overcame Cardiff 4-2 at the Etihad Stadium.
Late goals from Yaya Toure and fit-again Sergio Aguero ensured another victory for the Barclays Premier League title favourites.
Edin Dzeko had brought up their century in the first half but Cardiff gave them a battle and equalised through Craig Noone before Jesus Navas grabbed City's second. Fraizer Campbell claimed a Cardiff consolation in injury-time.
