Stephen Ireland lashed in a shot to put City ahead and Javier Garrido curled a 22-yard free-kick into the top corner to extend the home side's lead.

Jermain Defoe netted the winner and Portsmouth striker Peter Crouch scored with a spectacular overhead kick as Stoke were beaten at Fratton Park.
Crouch acrobatically fired Defoe's cross into the bottom corner.
Stoke equalised when Rory Delap's long throw was flicked on by Dave Kitson and Ricardo Fuller headed home.
Defoe rattled the post with a 30-yard drive but then found the net after Stoke's Seyi Olofinjana allowed him to cut in from the left and shoot.

Geovanni's brilliant free-kick made it another perfect day in north London for Hull City - and piled the pressure on Tottenham manager Juande Ramos.
The Brazilian stunned White Hart Lane with a curling effort from 30 yards after only nine minutes.
The hosts twice hit the woodwork through Gareth Bale and Jonathan Woodgate before the break, while Hull's Dean Marney also hit the post.

Two Robert Green errors and a stunning Matthew Taylor free-kick secured victory for Bolton at West Ham.
The Hammers keeper gifted Bolton their opener when he dropped a hopeful cross at Kevin Davies' feet and the striker poked the ball into an empty net.
Green then failed to hold the ball after saving Gretar Steinsson's volley and Gary Cahill was on hand to tap in.
Carlton Cole headed in from a corner to give West Ham hope but Taylor smashed in from 40 yards to secure the win.
Although Bolton's tactics were defensive at times it was probably no more than they deserved from a disciplined performance.
It might have been very different as West Ham's confidence was evident early on, as they looked to secure a third successive league win.
