Pep Guardiola‘s men bounced back from the defeat to Chelsea in fine fashion, with captain Kevin de Bruyne netting the opener from the penalty spot after Raheem Sterling was brought down by Joe Gomez just before the half-hour mark.
Sterling doubled our lead ten minutes later, expertly directing the ball into the net off the post after some brilliant build-up play involving Phil Foden.
