Manchester City handed out total humiliation to Premier League champions Chelsea with a 3-0 hammering at the Etihad on Sunday.
Sergio Aguero should have scored in the first minute but he finally found a way past an inspired Asmir Begovic to give the hosts a slender lead following a one-sided opening half.
Captain Vincent Kompany and Fernandinho then added gloss to the scoreline in the final quarter as the last season’s runners-up established an early five-point lead over Jose Mourinho’s side.
With Thibaut Courtois serving out a one-match ban, all eyes were on Begovic as the ex-Stoke City goalkeeper was handed his first start in a Chelsea shirt.
