The three points mean we move back to the division’s summit after Pep Guardiola‘s side took advantage of playing before title rivals Arsenal who are in action on Sunday.
Josko Gvardiol broke the deadlock inside the 13th minute when he played a neat one-two with Kevin De Bruyne before the Croatian danced into the box and slotted home.
It represented the versatile defender’s fourth goal in his last seven appearances in all competitions as the visitors made a strong start in the capital.
That was the first half’s only goal, but we doubled our lead 15 minutes after the break when Phil Foden swept into the bottom corner from the edge of the area - sparking jubilant scenes among players, staff and fans alike.
Gvardiol then extended his superb goalscoring record when poking home his second and our third of the afternoon.
And Julian Alvarez‘s penalty in second-half stoppage time added the gloss to the result as our relentless pursuit of a record fourth straight title continued.
