Manchester City bounced back from their shock defeat at Norwich in style as they opened their Champions League campaign with a 3-0 victory at Shakhtar Donetsk.
Pep Guardiola, who used Fernandinho as a makeshift centre half in the absence of the injured John Stones, would have wanted a response from his side following defeat at Carrow Road and they made the perfect start, taking the lead in the 24th minute through Riyad Mahrez.
Ilkay Gundogan doubled City’s advantage 14 minutes later before Gabriel Jesus made sure the visitors got back to winning ways in the 76th minute.
