Sunday's Premier League highlights - in pictures

There was an eventful start at the Liberty Stadium when City conceded a penalty for a foul on Wayne Routledge in the fifth minute. Scott Sinclair was denied, though, as Joe Hart plunged to his right to save the spot-kick Photograph: John Sibley/Action Images

City responded in the closing stages when Micah Richards fired into an empty net ... Photograph: Nick Potts/PA

Richards burst off in celebration, but the lineswoman Sian Massey correctly raised her flag for offside and the goal was disallowed Photograph: Nick Potts/PA

Mario Balotelli sank to the turf at the final whistle - his dejection clear for all to see after a torrid afternoon for the visitors Photograph: Scott Heavey/Getty Images

The City manager Roberto Mancini was equally glum. Despite tinkering with substitutions, his team were well beaten. Final score: Swansea City 1-0 Manchester City Photograph: Scott Heavey/Getty Images

City's neighbours and title rivals enjoyed an easier afternoon with a routine victory over West Brom at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney gave them the lead in the 35th minute when he diverted Javier Hernández's shot beyond the goalkeeper, Ben Foster Photograph: Matthew Peters/Man Utd via Getty Images

United were dominant, especially in the second half, and showed few signs of the insecurities which plagued them in their Europa League defeat to Basel in midweek ... Photograph: Andrew Yates/AFP/Getty Images

When Ashley Young was felled by Keith Andrews, United were awarded a penalty. Rooney netted it with ease - his 15th goal in his last 14 matches - to ensure a victory for United which has lifted them to the top of the Premier League table, above City.

Wigan dominated much of the match and scored an equaliser when Moses rounded the goalkeeper, John Ruddy, in the 68th minute. But the Wigan substitute Mohamed Diame spurned two great chances late in the match which could have given Wigan a precious win. Final score: Norwich 1-1 Wigan Photograph: Ian Kington/AFP/Getty Images
