7Manchester CityFinal game: Manchester City 4-3 SunderlandDate: December 19, 2009
National newspapers were reporting that Hughes would be axed regardless of the Sunderland result. Roque Santa Cruzs 69th-minute winner saw City edge past 10-man Sunderland. But with the club 11 points behind league leaders Chelsea, the Etihad hierarchy relieved Hughes of his duties.Billionaire Sheikh Mansour bought City in September 2008 and gave Hughes close to 200 million to spend on players, which included, at the time, a record-breaking British transfer fee of 32.4 million for Robinho.
7FulhamFinal game: Fulham 2-2 ArsenalDate: May 22, 2011
