Manchester City Manuel Pellegrini full of praise for side after 'important' Capital One Cup final win

Despite a disappointing first period the Chilean got his hands on a first piece of silverware in English football with a 3-1 win at Wembley

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says he is "very happy" with the Blues come-from-behind win over Sunderland in the League Cup final .

Fabio Borini had given underdogs Sunderland a 1-0 half-time lead at Wembley with City looking out of sorts.

However, two magnificent goals in as many minutes from Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri turned the game in the Blues' favour, before Samir Nasri added the coup de grace late on.

And Pellegrini believes his side are deserving winners.

"I'm very happy," said the Chilean .

"The team deserve this cup because we played well during the whole cup and scored a lot of goals.

"It's important for all of us - for the players, the club, for me, for the staff - all of us.

"Sunderland play a good match also and we didn't move the ball as fast as we needed [in the first half] but in the second half we scored two beautiful goals and had the patience to wait for the moment."
