– Guardiola wins his first away match in City’s 4-1 win against Stoke
– Aguero and Nolito both scored a brace in an emphatic win at the Britannia
– Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho was involved in two of the goals scored by the Citizens
Nigerian international Kelech Iheanacho was the architect of Nolito’s 3rd and 4th in Manchester City’s 4-1 win over Stoke City at the Britannia. Aguero scored a contentious penalty after Ryan Shawcross was adjudged to have tugged the shirt of a Nicolas Otamendi by referee Mike Dean in the 27th minute.
Nine minutes later the Argentine striker headed home City’s second through a brilliant cross from Jesus Navas from the right to put the Citizens ahead at half time.
Raheem Sterling was yellow carded after holding a Stoke City player in the box and Bojan Kirkic converts from the spot to put pressure on the billionaire club.
Nolito's brace sinks Stoke City Bojan scores from the spot for Stoke City against Manchester City Nolito scored the third for City after Iheanacho’s brilliant run on the right shrugged of a defender then played a one-two Silva before rounding the goalkeeper and unselfishly finding the Spaniard who put the match beyond doubt.
The Manchester club was not finished yet as Stoke were caught on the counter by City where Iheanacho dummies a defender putting Sterling clear before Nolito had an easy tap-in. It ended 4-1. The win gives Guardiola his first Premier League away win of the season and after an unstable second half his team got the balance in the midfield and showed their worth as title contenders. It is two out of two for the from Bayern Munich coach as his side have scored six goals in two matches with Aguero scoring half of them.
