Manchester City crushed Swansea City 5-0 as a flurry of goals took the Premier League champions to a whopping 90 points in the league table. The Cityzens now have a 14-point lead over second-placed Manchester United and the outcome does not come as a surprise. Going into the fixture, Pep Guardiola’s men were expected to come out victorious and they did so in style.
The scoring was opened by David Silva and a Raheem Sterling screamer followed shortly after. In the second-half, the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus scored some fabulous goals to seal all 3 points for the club.
Besides stopping Alfie Mawson’s effort, Ederson pretty much spent the rest of his time watching his teammates on the other side.
Although Danilo has been used sparingly this season, he never shies away from making an impact. Tonight was no different as he put in a dynamic performance.
Kompany’s positional awareness and physicality came in handy as he bullied the Swansea attackers to keep trouble at bay.
Laporte’s passes were good and he had a decent game but he still needs to refine his skills a tad bit more to truly reach his potential.
Set up Sterling’s goal and put in a fabulous defensive display. Definitely one of City’s most promising stars at present.
Is there any end to De Bruyne’s greatness? Although Mohamed Salah has been the talk of the season, De Bruyne deserves equal credit for his incisive and creative performances.
Gundogan’s improvement is stunning to behold and he put in an influential performance to aid City’s stunning victory.
Silva’s attacking runs were delightful to watch. He scored the first goal and played a key role in the build-up to the second one as well. City’s best player on the field.
Scored a brilliant goal and he was an energetic performer throughout the game. Silva was calculated and calm.
One of the most hard-working players on the pitch, Jesus was finally rewarded with a goal.
Provided a crucial assist for Silva and earned the penalty for the fourth goal. Sterling is only going from strength-to-strength this season and that’s reflecting on his displays on the field.
Subs:
Displayed excellent pace to inject some dynamism.
Made some well-timed runs to aid the attack towards the end of the game.
