Nolito menaced on the left and Kevin De Bruyne, scorer of City’s first goal, added his own refined touches. If United occasionally looked slow in thought and movement, it was because their opponents passed the ball so stylishly. In those moments it must have been startling for the home crowd to see how ponderous their team looked in comparison. Unfortunately for Bravo, United had reasonable suspicions before the match that he might be susceptible to crosses and they were shown to be true. United poured forwards in search of a second goal but the equaliser eluded them and Guardiola’s immaculate start at City stretches to a sixth straight win.
