No big deal, says manager Mark Hughes about Robinho's penalty miss on Sunday.

The Brazilians spot kick in the 19th minute was saved by Sunderland goalkeeper Martin Fulop.

"In the end it wasn't crucial, so we're happy enough. I think he played cat and mouse with the keeper. On occasions, if the keeper - who's a big guy - chooses the correct side, there's a chance he may be able to stop it.ï

ïThere was a bit of kidology going on, the keeper guessed right and he saved it. That happens,ï says Mark Hughes, who added that Robinho kept on trying and did everything to make amends for the miss.

Manchester City won their fifth consecutive home match 1-0 by a goal from Micah Richards.
