Jack Grealish outstanding in the build-up. Co-commentator Ally McCoist agreed and said the former Aston Villa captain's contribution was terrific. Brilliant work from Jack Grealish, even better work from Josko Gvardiol.
Despite being without Rodri for Saturday's Premier League game against Newcastle United, it took Manchester City just 35 minutes to break the deadlock, an impressive feat establishing their dominance early.
Tasked with silencing a raucous home crowd, City have managed well, and thanks to an opening strike from defender Josko Gvardiol, have taken a first-half lead.
Saturday's match against the Magpies is just Grealish's second league start of the season. His efforts throughout the first half will certainly give his manager food for thought ahead of City's mid-week Champions League game.
