Robinho on Saturday scored for the third consecutive match in a row as City beated Blackburn 3-1.

The Brazilian striker is now in third place on Premier League's topscorers list with 14, two less than Chelsea's Nicolas Anelka and three less than Cristiano Ronaldo.

With the result City remain just a point adrift of seventh-placed West Ham in the fight for a place in next seasons Europa League. Next match is on Sunday May 10 against local rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.
