David Platt hailed the 'heavy goals' of
Manchester City super-sub Edin Dzeko
after his brace earned a win at West
Brom.
City looked in danger of falling seven
points adrift of leaders Chelsea after
James Milner was sent off in the first
half and then Shane Long broke the
deadlock for West Brom.
But Dzeko equalised within 60 seconds
of entering the action with 10 minutes
left and then in injury time snatched
the winner with his sixth goal of the
season.
City first-team coach Platt said: "If you
look at Edin's career for Manchester
City, the goals he has scored, he has
got a lot of heavy goals, goals that are
very important.
"I remember goals at Blackburn the
season before last which more or less
gave us Champions League
qualification.
"You look back at last season as well
and he got some vital goals. To win the
league, (Sergio) Aguero's goal will
always be the one but remember Edin
equalised.
"He has been a threat all season and
his form has been very good all
season."
