MANCHESTER, England -- Three points from Manchester City 2-1 Sunderland on the opening day of the Premier League season.
1. Pep Guardiola makes a shaky start
It took Sergio Aguero's penalty and Paddy McNair's 87th minute own goal to get Manchester City over the line against Sunderland on Saturday night and Pep Guardiola punched the air with relief as his era got off to a winning start -- just.
It's only one game into the new regime but he will be under no illusions regarding the task he faces. He has plenty to refine if he is to get anywhere near the breathtaking football he achieved at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
