Cody Gakpo and Mohammed Salah got the goals in a game which looked like it could've been much worse for City after an awful first 20 minutes.
City were better defensively (other than the mix up at the back) after the first twenty minutes and this was largely due to the performances of Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake.
Lack of goals is concerning; only Erling Haaland had scored a Premier League goal this season after 13 games, continuing City's offensive struggles.
The return of Ake and Dias is crucial; their presence at the back has improved City's defensive solidity significantly in the current campaign.
