Manchester: Yaya Toure, Edin Dzeko and Carlos Tevez scored as Manchester City secured a 3-1 victory over QPR but once again the defending champions were temporarily pegged back at the Etihad Stadium.
Toure gave City a perfect start in the sixteenth minute to give them first-half lead in what was, for the most part, a one-sided fixture. He slotted the ball in from six yards after an unfortunate deflection had diverted the ball directly into his path.
However, the home crowd was stunned in the second half when Bobby Zamora converted from point blank range after good work from Andy Johnson. But it took less than two minutes to restore their lead as Dzeko headed home Tevez's cross before the Argentine deflected his strike partner's shot into the back of the net in added time.
Manchester City now have seven points from three matches thanks to victories against Southampton in their season opener that was followed by a draw at the Anfield and now a win against QPR.
Esteban Granero made his debut for QPR, with Alejandro Faurlin making his first league appearance after a long-term knee injury alongside him. Andy Johnson partnered Bobby Zamora in attack. QPR has one point from three matches.
