City got back to winning ways in impressive fashion thanks to first half strikes from Omar Marmoush and Antoine Semenyo.
Seeking an instant response after losses away at Manchester United and Bodo/Glimt, an early goal from Marmoush, on what was his first Premier League start since August, got City up and running.
It then got even better when January arrival Antoine Semenyo marked his first home Premier League start for City by doubling our advantage on the stroke of half time.
With Marc Guéhi enjoying a superbly accomplished debut after his move from Crystal Palace earlier this week, it made for the perfect day all round.
Victory also saw Pep Guardiola’s side narrow the gap on leaders Arsenal to just four points at the top of the Premier League ahead of the Gunners’ Sunday tea time clash with Manchester United.
