At the time, Pep Guardiola hailed the performance the best of his tenure, as we made a fantastic start to our eventual Centurions campaign.
Gabriel Jesus gave us the lead on 17 minutes, before Raheem Sterling doubled our advantage at the Etihad Stadium soon after.
David Silva extended our lead further, but Mame Biram Diouf clawed a goal back for the Potters ahead of the interval.
There was a glimmer of hope for Mark Hughe’s side shortly after the break when they netted again through an unfortunate own goal by Kyle Walker.
But City refused to take our foot of the gas and scored a further four goals which added the gloss to the outing through Fernandinho, Leroy Sane, Bernardo Silva and Jesus once more.
