They left Aguero criminally unmarked as Pablo Zabaleta battled hard to head back into the danger zone.Aguero needed just one touch to shoot across McGregor and into the corner.Four minutes later Dzeko lashed in the second, collecting David Silva's pass and turning Liam Rosenior before expertly finding the top corner.Although early, it looked to be game over, as minds immediately turned to the visitors' 7-0 thrashing of Sheffield Wednesday and whether it could be repeated.But Hull's response was emphatic.Clichy, notionally supported by Silva, was an obvious target and was exposed as the hosts hit back in the 21st minute.Ahmed Elmohamady linked well with Rosenior before the latter breezed past Clichy and crossed from the right.There were plenty of blue shirts on hand but the first, Mangala, lost his bearings completely as he sent an unstoppable header arrowing into his own net.Aguero nearly dampened the celebrations when he went straight up the pitch and slotted an inch or two wide on the counter but Hull were not finished either.Diame began to boss the midfield, Toure and Fernandinho dropping deeper and deeper, while Elmohamady and Rosenior continued their assault on Clichy.The reward came in the 32nd minute, Diame chipping to Hernandez only for the striker to be taken out by Mangala's wild high-footed challenge.The Uruguayan sent Caballero the wrong way and the champions were glad to hear the half-time whistle.But the balance shifted again soon after the restart, Toure clattering the post from long distance.Pellegrini's men were back on the front foot, Silva re-emerging after a quiet period and Aguero always nagging.But with the scores still tied the ineffective Fernandinho gave way for Jesus Navas for the last 25 minutes.It was a risky switch that left Manchester City light on ball-winners but they regained the lead in a matter of minutes.Silva was the driver, cutting inside and riding Diame's challenge before freeing Dzeko on the left.The striker finished clinically, sliding his shot past the outstretched McGregor and in at the far post.Hull had not given up, Gaston Ramirez working Caballero after stepping off the bench alongside Hatem Ben Arfa, and Tom Huddlestone seeing his 20-yard drive loop up off Kompany and over the crossbar.But there was just enough time for Lampard to add to his remarkable scoring sequence, arriving with a typical late run to convert Zabaleta's cut-back
