FT
And there is the final whistle - City win the match, and deserved to, despite making it harder than they needed to.
90+4
QPR have to clear away another decent ball by Kolarov.
90+2
GOAL FOR CITY!! Tevez is taking the credit – he kept the attack alive a few times and redirected a miss-hit Edin Dzeko shot in the net after the Bosnian was found by Yaya Toure. Game over.
90'
There will be FIVE extra minutes – mainly due to that knock to Ferdinand.
89'
Nasri comes off and young Ivorian Razak comes on.
88'
Hard to believe this match is still on the line. City have faded badly but can QPR take advantage?
86'
Cisse on for Granero.
85'
Zamora booked for tugging at Carlos Tevez a couple of times. The referee actually played advantage but called back the former Fulham man to give him a yellow.
84'
Dyer has a shot blocked as City are forced to do more defending.
83'
Bosingwa gives the ball away cheaply but City cannot take full advantage when Milner makes a hash of a cross.
82'
David Silva coming off and James Milner coming on to try and add some energy to the City line-up.
80'
QPR are finally causing problems and City are starting to look tired. Fabio gives the ball away cheaply though.
78'

Now Lescott fails to deal with a Granero free-kick whipped in and again it is Nelsen who nearly gets on the end of it. City living dangerously.
77'

Granero's corner is headed back across the face of the goal by Onuoha at the back post and Nelsen has a chance to score but produces a centre-halves finish. That was a chance – woeful defending from city.
76'
Granero finds Johnson with a fine ball and Johnson's low cross is deflected behind by Kompany for a corner.
75'
Kolo Toure comes on for Zabaleta who seems to have tweaked his hamstring.
74'
Rodwell booked for sliding in on Granero. The City man thought he won the ball.
73'
Tevez with a low ball across the face of the goal which is just a little too far in front of Silva.
72'
Kieron Dyer – remember him? He is on for Faurlin.
