Foden 8/10, Sterling 7/10 as City lay down a marker vs. champions Liverpool

Manchester City took advantage of some absent Liverpool defending to beat the Premier League champions 4-0 at the Etihad on Thursday evening.

Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Raheem Sterling was bundled to the ground by Joe Gomez, before two goals in 10 minutes from Sterling and Phil Foden put Pep Guardiola's side out of sight by half-time.

A layer of gloss was added to the scoreline in the 66th minute, when Liverpool substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain turned a Sterling effort into his own net to round off a miserable night for Jurgen Klopp's Reds.
