City capitalised on Arsenal's slip-up when they drew Southampton on tuesday and went into the game all 'blazing' knowing a win will take them to the top of the table and wasted no time in doing that as with just 15 minutes of play, David Silva slipped in a perfect ball to Sergio Aguero who delicately stroke his shot past Lloris in goal to put Manchester City ahead but not without a sacrifice as he limped off minutes later with a suspected hamstring injury.
At resumption of play, Danny Rose was sent off after just six minutes as he was adjudged to have fouled Edin Dzeko in the box, and Yaya Toure coolly convert from the spot to take City's lead to two.

But a perfect night was rounded off late on when Jovetic found space in the area to thump beyond Lloris via a deflection, and Kompany's late effort rounded off a five-star performance.
The Win means City has won eighteen of their last twenty games and eighth successive victories.
