Brunt then hit the bar from the edge of the area but he was not to be denied and he sealed the points, and all that went with them, by hammering a free-kick into the top corner from just outside the area.
Following a quick free-kick by Kolo Toure, Reid brought down Kolarov in the left-hand corner of the area and, after referee Martin Atkinson pointed to the spot, Tevez made no mistake to roll it into the bottom corner.
