Omar Marmoush grabbed the headlines, scoring his first City hat-trick in just his fifth appearance since moving to Manchester last month.
He needed just 33 minutes to guarantee the match ball, scoring the opener 19 minutes in and following it up with two strikes before half-time.
His first - a deft lob over Martin Dubravka - was also a landmark moment for Ederson as our brilliant Brazilian set the record for the goalkeeper with the most assists in Premier League history.
James McAtee rounded off the scoring as the end of the game approached, netting his sixth goal of the season.
It was also a special occasion for Nico, who shone in the heart of midfield on his home debut.
