Manchester City beat Birmingham City to reach the Carling Cup fourth round.
Hargreaves, who signed on a free transfer after three injury-beset years, opened the scoring in the 17 minute and Mario Balotelli sealed the victory from Pablo Zabaleta’s cross on 38 minutes.
Mancini’s side took a brilliant start as Pablo Zabaleta shooted wide from a Bridge cross just in the 4th minute of game and three minutes later Balotelli had a shot from just outside the area saved by Colin Doyle.
