Half-Time Report: Stevan Jovetic cancels out Wilfried Bony strike

Manchester City and Swansea City go into half time with the score at 1-1 in their Premier League match.

Manchester City and Swansea City have gone into half time with the score at 1-1 this afternoon after Stevan Jovetic cancelled out Wilfried Bony's strike.

City made a bright start to the game, with the in-form Sergio Aguero looking particularly dangerous during the opening exchanges.

It was Swansea who made the breakthrough, however, when Bony got in behind the City defence before dinking the ball past Joe Hart.

The goal was just reward for Swansea's impressive start, which saw Garry Monk's men pass the ball around with confidence and flair.

City eventually got an equaliser when Jesus Navas's cross from the right wing was met by Jovetic in the centre of the box.

The hosts, who had looked sloppy up to that point, soon sprung into life following the strike and Jovetic almost got onto the end of Samir Nasri's dangerous cross before Ashley Williams cleared.

Lukas Fabianski then denied Aguero before Gael Clichy hit the post with a thunderous strike from 30 yards as City turned the screw just before the break.
