It was a rapid start to the game as we won a penalty within the first 30 seconds, which was converted by the ever-reliable Sergio Aguero.
Samir Nasri soon made it 2-0 from Edin Dzeko’s cross before Dzeko himself ended his 15-game goal drought to put the game beyond the Magpies with little more than 20 minutes on the clock.
David Silva joined in on the act with two class goals in quick succession after half-time.
He found a clever finish for the first and a powerful volley for the second as the champions flexed their muscles.
