A Kevin De Bruyne brace in the first half came either side of a fantastic leveller from Jadon Sancho, who curled a shot in from the edge of the box.
However the Reds weren’t able to fight back and City secured all three points in the second half with Riyad Mahrez also netting a double.
FIRST HALF – FRANTIC FIRST HALF
The hosts started brightly and took the lead inside five minutes when Bernardo Silva cut a ball back from the byline into the path of Kevin De Bruyne and the Belgium dispatched a low left-footed effort into the net for his 50th Premier League strike.
