Started like a train playing some superb attacking football with speed and clinical efficiency. Ederson makes an error of judgement to give away the pen and then the game is fairly even. Even after the 4th goal I thought Ings and Long caused us a fair amount of trouble and they created some decent chances to make the score closer. In the end we run out comfortable winners but Mendy is undoubtedly vulnerable defensively however much he brings to us from an attacking standpoint (which is a lot). Has to be said that Sterling is in the form of his life and was our best player today. Fernandinho is so consistently excellent too - having a great run of games last few weeks. Both Silvas also were really good although Bernie faded a bit second half. Good to see Foden get more minutes. All in all a great day with another high scoring spectacular.
