That's all for today 💙

Another superb three points as our perfect Premier League start continues. There won't be many teams that come away from the London Stadium with all three points this season.

Keep your eyes peeled for our highlights this evening and further reaction tomorrow morning.

We're back in action on Tuesday night when our Champions League campaign gets going at home against Red Star Belgrade. There will be plenty of build up to that on mancity.com and our app between now and then.

See you soon! CITY, CITY CITY!

Pep's Doku praise 🗣

"I would say that the first game he was shy and today he was not, it was an unbelievable game. He was a proper winger, have the ball, have the ability to go 1v1. Not just that, he has the quality to read when to make the pass for the next player. I was very happy, it was a very good performance from Jeremy."

Pep's reaction 💬

"All game we played a fantastic game. Even when we were losing against at half-time against an incredible side who is very good at set-pieces. We were efficient, we were patient in the second-half. It was a big win after the international break. The team showed good spirit to survive."

Alvarez's role

As this Heat Map shows, Alvarez spent most of his time operating in the space behind Erling Haaland.

Assists...prince?

Julian Alvarez got two assists today. He's taken a lot of Kevin De Bruyne's responsibilities since the Belgian's injury and was again crucial in terms of creating chances rather than being on the end of them,

A word on Ederson 💬

I'm back again to bang the Ederson drum.

Our goalkeeper was again perfect throughout. His saves to deny Antonio and Zouma in fairly quick succession were decisive.

He's been in simply magnificent form in 2023 and deserves heaps of praise for his role in our successes.

Doku reacts 💬

On the game as a whole: "I think we reacted very well. We had a lot of chances in the first-half without scoring but we kept on going. They score a goal, I had a bad touch so I was disappointed. We reacted well and kept on playing and after that we scored three goals and had a good game."

On his first City goal: "(It meant) a lot, especially after their goal because it came of me. I wanted to do something back, something good, and I helped the team which I'm glad about."

On his battle with Vladimir Coufal: "I enjoyed it, I had a lot of 1 v 1's. The manager said to try this to bring a lot of players to me and it worked. I enjoyed the game against him of course."

On manager Pep Guardiola: "He said the first game I was al ittle bit shy but now no. As he said, I was a little bit less shy today."
