Internet Reacts to Samir Nasri's Hair as Manchester City Beat West Brom

Manchester City stayed on track to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League with a narrow 2-1 win at home to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

Manuel Pellegrini's side went into the game as firm favourites, but the Baggies took an early lead when Stephane Sessegnon fired inside Joe Hart's near post:

"

GOALLLL!!!! Sessegnon scores for West Brom! Etihad stunned to silence (it has nothing to do with the poor attendance) #MCIWBA

Hart beaten at near post - not great, Guardiola, who wants Ter Stegen, bound to take note: 1-0 to #wbafc...

City hit back on 19 minutes, with West Brom goalscorer Sessegnon fouling Aleksandar Kolarov in the box, allowing Sergio Aguero to convert from the spot:

With the football settling into something of a lull, attention turned to Samir Nasri's peroxide-blonde hair:

The Frenchman had been out injured for over five months, but he topped off an impressive return with a goal to put City 2-1 up:

City held on to claim three points that—for now, at least—keeps them out of the reach of Manchester United, who play Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday:

"

2 - Man City have won consecutive Premier League games for the first time since October. Overdue.
