Carlos Tevez scored twice and Javier Garrido struck a brilliant, if controversial, free-kick as City won Monday's match at Molineux in style to move to within 10 points of leaders Chelsea.

Victory also preserved their perfect record under former Inter Milan boss Mancini after the Italian began his City career by overseeing Saturday's 2-0 home win against Stoke.

Mancini, who has yet to see City concede a goal on his watch, said all things were possible although he stressed talk of a title tilt was some way off.

"Now is not the time to look at our league position," Mancini said. "We will just play one game at a time and then we will look at the table in two months.

"Can we win the league? All is realistic. We have another 18 games to go, so all is possible because we have a good team."
