Phil Foden scored and provided an assist as Manchester City secured a comfortable first Champions League victory of the season against Slovan Bratislava.
The England midfielder, who has struggled to replicate the form that earned him the PFA Player of the Season award last year, made the most of just his second start of the campaign.
After Ilkay Gundogan had scored his first goal since his return to City with a deflected strike in the eighth minute, Foden opened his own account for the campaign with a composed finish into the bottom corner seven minutes later.
City then hit the woodwork three times – through Foden, Gundogan and Jeremy Doku – as they continued to dominate, before Erling Haaland grabbed his 11th of the season just before the hour mark, taking the ball past goalkeeper Dominik Takac to slot home.
Foden then cleverly flicked the ball through for substitute James McAtee to get his first City goal in the 74th minute.
Only heroics from Slovan stopper Takac denied City further goals, but the victory was their first in the revamped Champions League format after drawing at home to Inter Milan in their opening fixture.
