Melbourne City have shown glimpses of title-winning swagger in Friday nights 2-1 win over Adelaide United at AAMI Park.Bruno Fornarolis goals either side of halftime improved City to second on the A-League table.A first A-League goal for Sergi Guardiola frayed City nerves but John van t Schips side held on to bounce back from last rounds home defeat.Adelaide played their part in an entertaining game but took too long to click into gear, falling to a third-straight loss and their first away defeat of 2016.When City purred into action, the champions couldnt lay a glove on them.Citys link-up play in attack - where Fornaroli and Fernando Brandan threatened at will - dazzled the Reds defence.Brandans show-stopping backheel nutmeg of former City defender Ben Garuccio showed Citys intent.Soon after, Luke Brattan - playing as a No.10 and auditioning for a place in the Socceroos squad in front of coach Ange Postecoglou - sparked the first goal.Brattan hassled Tarek Elrich out of the ball, allowing Brandan to feed Fornaroli on the edge of the box.The Uruguayan bent his back and arched his shot inside the back post past Eugene Galekovic.Fornaroli should have had two before halftime, sidefooting over the bar late in the half when a fiercer strike might have done the job.With seconds left before halftime, United almost made City pay for their missed chances when Ryan Kitto rattled the crossbar from Isaias free kick.City upped the ante after the break and United couldnt go with them, earning successive yellow cards for late tackles and then conceding a second goal.Brandan, the shortest man on the pitch, sent a header from Brattans corner into Guardiolas outstretched arm. Fornaroli converted the penalty.City looked on track for a routine win but, in trademark style, gave their home fans grief by failing to close out the game.But when Dylan McGowan spooned a loose ball over from close range, it was clear City would stand firm for a steadying win.Van t Schip said he was delighted his side managed the fatigue factor, after a 2-0 FFA Cup semi-final win over Melbourne Victory just three days earlier.The mindset was very strong ... they were outstanding with their attitude, work rate and helping each other, he said.The Dutchman said Tim Cahill was suffering from soreness in his achilles and couldnt guarantee his fitness for next Fridays match against Brisbane.Adelaide coach Guillermo Amor said he would prefer to have more than one point from his sides opening four games but noted the similarities to last years title-winning season.The season is long. We must improve and learn things. Our squad is a good squad ... I have confidence.

Claire Williams says Rob Smedley could take a step away from the race-to-race operation of the team and move into a factory role for 2017.Smedley is currently Williams head of vehicle performance and oversees the Williams cars at every race. Towards the end of the season there were rumours Smedleys role may change in 2017 as the team looks to recover from this year, which saw it lose out to Force India in the battle for fourth position.When asked about the rumours in Abu Dhabi, deputy team principal Williams said: Those are conversations we may or may not be having. Whether hes at the track or at Grove he will still make an important contribution.With all our personnel you have to decide where their technical abilities are best-placed, and thats not from a negative perspective -- someone like Rob wants to progress and do more and sometimes thats not at the track, its possibly back at the factory in a bigger role. So we will wait and see.Smedley joined Williams from Ferrari in 2014 with Felipe Massa, who retirred from F1 in Abu Dhabi after his 250th race start.dddddddddddd Smedleys arrival was part of a technical overhaul which helped the team to a resurgence in 2014 and 2015, finishing third in both seasons.Williams says Smedley is a vital part of the team and possess the attributes she desires for her familys team.Rob has done a fantastic job for us ever since he joined us. I dont envisage any changes, hes a very important part of this team. Not only is he really strong technically, hes very capable, but hes also a very passionate person and thats one of the things I love about him and one of the things this team needs.This team needs people that know and understand that winning takes sacrifices and putting every single bit of blood, sweat and tears in to win. People like Rob has that, thats the DNA that runs through people like Rob Smedley and I dont want to lose him from the team. ' ' '
