Bony: Liberty feels like my garden
After scoring on his return to Swansea City, Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony compared the Liberty Stadium pitch to his garden.
Wilfried Bony compared the Liberty Stadium to his back garden after scoring in Manchester City's 4-2 Premier League win over former club Swansea City.
The Ivorian netted City's fourth in south Wales, adding to James Milner's opener and a Yaya Toure brace, while Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bafetimbi Gomis found the net for Swansea.
Bony signed for the Etihad Stadium outfit for a reported £28million in January, having scored 34 goals in 70 appearances for Garry Monk's side.
"It's crazy for me to come here and not go left to the home dressing room," he told BBC Sport. "But that's the way football works. I have to adapt to that.
"The Swansea fans gave me a good reception and good motivation too. When I got a chance, I scored.
"It was a strange moment when I scored. This team did a lot for me - and the fans too. We've been here together. But we have to deal with that.
"I feel it's like my garden here. I know the pitch here so well.
