A devastating second-half performance saw Man City come from behind to beat Sunderland 3-1at Wembley and win the Capital OneCup.Sunderland had earlier raised hopes of an upset when Fabio Borini fired them in front after just 10 minutes and outplayed their illustrious opponents in the first half.But City turned the game on its head at the start of the second period with two goals in as many minutes.First, Yaya Toure curled home a magnificent equaliser from fully 30 yards into the top corner before Nasri rifled home a half-volley fromjust inside the box seconds later.Sunderland were visibly stunned and struggled to compose themselves for the remainder of thehalf, failing to reach the levels they reached during the first period.As they piled men forward in search of an equaliser City hit them with a devastating counter-attack to seal the game, Toure leading the charge and feeding substitute Jesus Navas who fired home low past VitoMannone.
