Manchester: Carlos Tevez scored his first goal in a Manchester City shirt for 10 months when he helped the reserves to a 3-1 victory over Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old striker, making his second appearance since returning from his native Argentina last month following a spectacular falling out with the club in September, tucked in a right-wing cross in the 50th minute.
It was the first time Tevez had been on target in Manchester City colours since a Premier League game against Stoke City last May.
He was substituted against Bolton reserves with 20 minutes to go and received a generous ovation as he left the field.
The Argentine had not played for City since falling out with the club following his refusal to warm up during the Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich in September.
He returned to Argentina without permission and spent three months in his homeland before coming back to England two weeks ago and apologising for his behaviour. City manager Roberto Mancini accepted Tevez's apology for his conduct and is prepared to restore him to the first team.
