Manchester City kept up the pressure at the top of the Barclays Premier League with an ultimately convincing 4-1 win over Southampton at the Etihad Stadium.
A controversial Samir Nasri goal and an Edin Dzeko header moments later turned a tight game in City's favour just before the interval after Rickie Lambert's penalty had cancelled out one from Yaya Toure.
Substitute Stevan Jovetic made victory certain before Toure hit a post late on, but for Southampton prime concerns were over a knee injury to 17-goal top scorer Jay Rodriguez.
The England World Cup hopeful was carried off on a stretcher after landing awkwardly midway through the first half and the club, and watching national boss Roy Hodgson, will anxiously await updates.
