Captain Kolo is the hero.

MANCHESTER City captain Kolo Toure banished the club's derby blues by scoring the winner in extra-time at Eastlands to take them into the fourth round of the Carling Cup beating Fulham 2-1. It was his first goal since he arrived from Arsenal in the summer and a welcome one at that.

City found it hard going against Fulham after losing in stoppage time against Manchester United on Sunday but Toure found the target in the 111th minute to take Mark Hughes' men into the last 16.

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson named a completely different starting XI to the one that lost to Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday and the west Londoners opened the scoring with a wonder goal from Zoltan Gera, only for Gareth Barry to pull City level.

City had the majority of possession in regulation time but struggled to make it pay.
