Adebayor gives City victory

Emmanuel Adebayor scored his third goal in as many Barclays Premier League games as the man who helped bring Manchester City their millions watched from the stands in the 1-0 win over Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

Sulaiman Al Fahim, who fronted the consortium that bought City a year ago, was sat in the crowd four days after it was announced an agreement had been made for him to buy Portsmouth from Alexandre Gaydamak.

City are certainly benefiting from their change of ownership - they only won two away games last season and have matched that total already in their 100% start to the season.
