Pep Guardiola’s ran out comfortable winners in the end, but were put to the test in the first-half.
Maxime Esteve turned Phil Foden’s attempt into his own net, before Jaidon Anthony equalised to send the teams in level at the break.
However, we didn’t let our heads drop and we were rewarded in the 61st minute as Nunes fired home from to restore our advantage.
Four minutes later City were flying as Esteve once again put the ball into his own net while under pressure from substitute Oscar Bobb.
The afternoon was then rounded off when Erling Haaland, struck twice late on as City moved up to third in the table.

Reflecting on the win, Nunes said: “”We are going to look at the areas we need to improve. I think we cannot concede so many counter attacks and we cannot concede a goal.
“We have to look at the things we have to improve, but we knew it was a well deserved win.
“It’s difficult when they play with 11 players behind the ball because we made them do that, so we just have to stay patient, every game there are different nuances and different spaces that we can explore and sometimes individuality helps, so we just had to keep patience.”
