Bruyne started the proceedings from the 48 minute, thanks to a Marlos slack pass in the midfield. He nudged it to Silva, who prepared the meal, and fed Bruyne from a 25-yard distance – right into the top corner.
In the dying minutes, Sterling pulled off a stellar when he sprinted into the box after releasing Bernardo Silva, who played a low pass to help City add the second goal to its cabinet.
