Dzeko opened the door for Trophy

Edin Dzeko vs Aston Villa

With the hour mark approaching, the tension was building. City were manful enough, industrious and hard-working, but the final ball and requisite quality lacking from their game. Villa, content to pack the back line and force Manchester City wide, were achieving their aim before Edin Dzeko first calmed the nerves, then put the game beyond the visitors with his second goal in an eight-minute spell that helped underline quite how important the Bosnian has been for the team.
