City were reduced to ten men in tenth minute when captain Vincent Kompany was dismissed for fouling Hull striker Nikica Jelavic.

But the Sky Blues did not let Kompany's dismissal faze them and they soon took the lead through David Silva.

City managed to hold on to their lead despite mounting pressure from Hull and wrapped up the points in the 90th minute through Edin Dzeko.

“I think it was a very good response from the team, it was a very difficult week and then we had to start this game playing with one player less after 10 minutes”
Manuel Pellegrini
Pellegrini said: "I think it was a very good response from the team. It was a very difficult week and then we had to start this game playing with one player less after 10 minutes.

"It was more difficult to play with 10 players but I trust the team, I trust the players and I think we did really well with the ball."

On Kompany's red card, Pellegrini added: "I thought before it was clear foul by Jelavic - before Vincent did his foul - but the referee didn't see it, he saw the foul of Kompany and he sent him off."
