As seen in the video below, they played some excellent football to carve their opponents open, with Kevin De Bruyne at the heart of their attack.

However, Phil Foden played a brilliantly unselfish pass and Raheem Sterling did the rest to make it 3-1, as he went on to score another two shortly after to put the game to bed.

Pep Guardiola won’t be entirely happy with what he saw during the encounter as the visitors did cause his side plenty of problems, but their attacking play undoubtedly made the difference.
