That's what happened. I was very happy to score the goal. </p><p>"Before the game, people have been saying and writing things and the emotions took over. People who love me and know me know how I behave," he added. </p><p>City manager Mark Hughes supported Adebayor after the game claiming he could understand his striker's actions. </p><p>"To a certain extent it's understandable given the last 18 months or so - there was a lot of pent-up emotion there. </p><p>"But he's already apologised for it. It's an emotional game and he just let his emotions run away with him. It would be a shame if that incident overshadows what was a great game." </p><p>Hughes' team took the lead in the first after Micah Richard's header rebounded off the post and into the net off the diving Manuel Almunia. </p><p>Van Persie equalised for the Gunners, but goals from Craig Bellamy, Adebayor and Shaun Wright-Phillips won the game before Thomas Rosicky grabbed a late consolation for Arsene Wenger's team. </p><p>Hughes was delighted with his team's win but insisted his team must maintain their level of performance for the whole season of they are to challenge for a place in the top four. </p><p>He said: "We're delighted, it was a big game for us. </p><p>"It was important we made a mark today and we did that, we were good value for the win. Now we have to sustain that performance from now until the end of the season."</p> </div> <div id="article-ad"> <script type='text/javascript'><!--//<![CDATA[ var m3_u = (location.protocol=='https:'?'https://a.preferdigitaladvertising.co.uk/delivery/ajs.php':'http://a.preferdigitaladvertising.co.uk/delivery/ajs.php'); var m3_r = Math.floor(Math.random()*99999999999); if (!document.MAX_used) document.MAX_used = ','; document.write ("<scr"+"ipt type='text/javascript' src='"+m3_u); document.write ("?zoneid=139"); document.write ('&cb=' + m3_r); if (document.MAX_used != ',') document.write ("&exclude=" + document.MAX_used); document.write (document.charset ?
