Tevez scores on public return

Carlos Tevez marked his first public appearance in a Manchester City shirt for more than five months with a goal tonight as City's reserves beat Bolton 3-1 at Hyde.

Tevez, whose comeback after settling his dispute with the club began when he played 45 minutes behind closed doors last week, played in front of a crowd of around 1,000 and swelled by members of the media.

Tevez, who had come close with a first half free-kick, scored City's equaliser in the 51st minute when he finished off a cross from strike partner Harry Bunn from close range.
