...Watson, a tower of strength throughout despite playing once more having aggravated stomach muscles last weekend, was head and shoulders City's man of the match. Apart from his goal when stealing forward on a blindside run to find space and head Asa Hartford's raking free-kick, the blues skipper drove his men relentlessly, especially in the second half when the action was thick and fast in the City penalty area PETER GARDNER WRITING IN THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
