Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has expressed his delight after his striker-less side beat West Brom 3-1 yesterday.
Pellegrini did not have Sergio Aguero, Stevan Jovetic or Edin Dzeko due to injury, but saw his side put the Baggies to the sword with goals from Fernando, Yaya Toure and David Silva.
And the Manchester City manager was delighted with his team for getting the job done without strikers and amid heavy snowfall at the Hawthornes.
"We changed the style of play and we are doing well. We are preparing to give the midfielders time to arrive at the edge of the box, we are creating more space and we are using the space in the right moment", he told his club's site.

"I was happy because I said last week it is very important to play in another style as we don’t have strikers."
Next up for Manchester City is a visit from Burnley on Sunday, before Sunderland make the same journey for a New Year's Day clash.
