Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini sought to keep a lid on emotions after their shock defeat to Swansea City. On a wholly unsatisfactory afternoon for City, England midfielder Gareth Barry reacted angrily to being substituted in the first half before Yaya Toure and Mario Balotelli were reportedly embroiled in a heated row at the interval.

Mancini claimed he had no knowledge of the Toure and Balotelli incident and was also unaware of the exact nature of an injury he revealed Barry has carried for the past three weeks.

"Gareth has a problem, I don't know what, but for three weeks. Not a big injury, a small problem," he said.
