Manchester, ENGLAND -- Three points from the Etihad on Manchester City's 2-1 win over Napoli in the UEFA Champions League.
1. City ride out Napoli's revival
It began with Manchester City destroying an opponent in the manner that has become habitual in English football. Napoli, currently top of Serie A, scoring goals at a rate not seen for decades, were being put to the sword, and swiftly, behind strikes from Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.
But then came a revival from Napoli that asked plenty of questions of City. By the end, they were clinging on, and had ridden out quite the onslaught of an opponent who do not possess their aesthetic brilliance, but have plenty of quality.
