As for the game, Manchester City looked back their best at the Etihad. They controlled the game from start to finish in a performance that resembled the treble winners at their best. The addition of Mateo Kovacic to City’s midfield allowed the FA Cup holders to control the tempo of yesterday’s game. His midfield partnership with Rodri was a key factor in City’s win. While Bernardo Silva’s brace will get the headlines, the partnership of Kovacic and Rodri may lay the foundation for City’s treble defence on the run home.
