Manchester City have won the first Premier League game of 2014.

The Sky Blues beat Swansea 3-2 at the Liberty Stadium in the early kick off.

Fernandinho opened the year's scoring for City on the quarter hour mark before Wilfried Bony equalized on the stroke of half-time.

But Yaya Toure put City back in front on 58 minutes before Aleksandar Kolarov added a brilliant third with 25 minutes to go.

Swansea cut the deficit through Bony in the final minute but it was too little too late.

The win puts City top of the table, at least temporarily with Arsenal in action against Cardiff.
