CITY revealed their comeback quality to clinch a gutsy 3-2 win over Wimbledon this afternoon.

MAN OF THE MATCH
Tommy Leigh is fast becoming a cult hero with the fans and played with heart and passion to help City win the physical battle in midfield.
TACTICS
Graham Alexander made five changes for the third game running.
Back came Curtis Tilt, Josh Neufville, Max Power, Bobby Pointon and Stephen Humphrys.
Nick Powell made another appearance on the bench after a late run-out at Stoke. But there was no Alex Pattison (dead leg) or Tyreik Wright (rested).
