Joleon Lescott finding the back of the net with a short range header and Dzeko seeing a speculative punt evade David De Gea. It was a worrying error from the £18m man, but it will have delighted the backers of City to hold a lead at the break at an In-Play high of 12.0.But if the error affected the new keeper, the rest of the team had no such problems coming back at City with a ferocious second-half assault.Chris Smalling got the comeback off with a close range finish past Joe Hart. Seconds later Nani slotted past the England man after a Barcelona-esque series of one touch passing cut their rivals' defence to ribbons.And it was the Portuguese international who finally killed City off, seizing on a Vincent Kompany error to beat Hart again. The final score of 3-2 traded at 55.0 In-Play on betfair.United remain title favourites at 2.82 while City are 5.1. Chelsea sit in between the two at 3.85.
