Man City's Tevez apologetic after scoring twice against former club West Ham Carlos Tevez refused to celebrate as his double-strike inspired Manchester City's 3-1 win over his former club West Ham last night. While Tevez won't win any popularity contests at Manchester United after his acrimonious switch to City, he is fondly regarded at West Ham after almost single-handedly keeping them in the Premier League during a loan spell three years ago. The Argentina striker acknowledged that the Hammers still have a place in his heart as well as he waved an apology to West Ham's travelling supporters after opening the scoring at Eastlands. Unlike his teammate Emmanuel Adebayor, who had raced the length of the pitch to taunt Arsenal's fans when he scored against his old club earlier this month, Tevez held out his arms in apology to the Hammers supporters and they responded by clapping their former idol. Carlton Cole equalised for Gianfranco Zola's team in the 24th minute but Martin Petrov restored City's lead before in the 32nd minute and Tevez settled an entertaining encounter with his second goal after half-time (61st minute). Again he hardly acknowledged the goal that left West Ham stuck in bottom three and lifted Mark Hughes side, who have won five of their six league ties, in fifth place.
