Result: Queens Park Rangers 2-3 Manchester City

Manchester City maintain their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 3-2 win at QPR.

Manchester City have maintained their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 3-2 win at Queens Park Rangers.

Neil Warnock's side took the lead on 28 minutes when Jay Bothroyd headed in Joey Barton's free kick.

However, the visitors were level just before the break when Edin Dzeko was allowed to dribble into the penalty area before firing a low shot into the corner of Paddy Kenny's goal.

David Silva gave City the lead seven minutes after the break when he collected Dzeko's pass in the QPR area before he hit home.

The R's were back on level terms with 20 minutes to play after Heidar Helguson tapped in Bothroyd's header from Armand Traore's cross.

Despite the boost that the goal gave the home team, Yaya Toure headed in unmarked to give Roberto Mancini's side a 3-2 lead.

Helguson hit the woodwork late on for the hosts, but they were unable to find another goal.
