Match Report
The visitors have typically endured a nightmare on every trip to the stadium, and once again found themselves on the wrong end of the result after goals from Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne.
Silva opened the scoring on 12 minutes, having tucked home after Phil Foden's effort was pushed out by Nick Pope, and De Bruyne sealed the three points for City with an unerring effort into the back of the net.
