City’s utter dominance

Manchester City took the lead in the 24th minute courtesy of Gabriel Jesus, who placed the ball into the nets after receiving a great pass from Kyle Walker. Manchester City, then quadrupled their lead after half-time by way of Raheem Sterlingā€™s brace and Sergio Aguero’s penalty. They are currently cruising and should win the match quite comfortably.

Manchester City won all domestic trophies available last season and will look for an encore this season. They have already grabbed the Community Shield and will now look to build on that. Several of Cityā€™s top players such as Bernardo Silva and Sergio Aguero were not in the playing XI. However, City have shown once again they have enough depth in their squad.
