Richard Dunne nets winner

LONDON: Richard Dunne scored a 23rd-minute winner and Manchester City beat Middlesbrough 1-0 in the English Premier League on Monday night, surviving two shots off the post by Massimo Maccarone with goalkeeper Nicky Weaver beaten.

The goal came when Joey Barton's far-post corner sailed perfectly for Dunne, who leapt to drive a header into the roof of the goal.

The victory was Manchester City's first in four games and comes a week after it was thrashed 4-0 by Wigan.

It kept City unbeaten in five matches at home — having yet to concede a goal — and improved it to 12th place with 12 points.

The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for Middlesbrough, which fell to 15th place with 11 points.

``It was a big result for us today after the disappointment of last week,'' City striker Paul Dickov said.

``We are all a bit embarrassed. It was so important to bounce back and we showed our pride. Everybody wants to play for the shirt.'' — AP
