Manchester City moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a convincing 5-0 thrashing of Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium.
First-half goals from Raheem Sterling and Aymeric Laporte ensured Pep Guardiola's side settled any pre-match nerves relatively early to take advantage of Liverpool's slip up against Tottenham as they shrugged off their midweek Champions League setback in style.
Rodri added the third goal on the hour mark from Kevin De Bruyne's corner before substitute Phil Foden and Sterling with his second of the game underlined their dominance as City produced an emphatic second-half performance in the Manchester sunshine.
