Roberto Mancini has told his Manchester City players that they needed to start finding the net on a more regular basis if they are to win in the Premier League title this season.

City drew a blank as they slipped to a 1-0 defeat to Swansea City earlier today, handing rivals Manchester United top spot in the process.

"We need to start scoring again, and we are in second position now," said Mancini. "The lead can change every game but it is important to start winning and scoring again.

"All the players in this moment are tired, but we have a lot of energy to go top again and there are 10 games to play."

City will now take on Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League this Thursday.
