The champions survived a late scare to grab all three points.
Even without some of their biggest creative weapons, and with new signing Jeremy Doku on the bench, City asserted total control from the first minute in what quickly became an exercise in attack versus defence.
They thought they had taken the lead early on in the contest when Rodri looped a header high into the air from a set-piece and Nathan Ake steered the ball into the bottom corner, but the Spaniard had been in an offside position. He returned from the dressing room after the break looking decidedly meaner and eager to make amends, with City now bringing far greater intensity to their play in the final third.
