At this stage in the season, Manchester City have the best goal differential of any team for 130 years. Makes me think of when I said last season they are the best Premier League side we’ve ever seen and people went absolutely mental. Drink it in. pic.twitter.com/S5A9u6QiBl

- City expanded their lead soon after the break and the goal was representative of how they can drive blunders in rivals who appear as though it is difficult to inhale when the blue shirts begin to transform open space into deadlocks.

- The disposition inside the ground moved as the feeling of sureness descended.The certainty of triumph mixed City with considerably more prominent predominance.
