Premier League leaders Manchester City maintained their
perfect start under Pep Guardiola with victory at Swansea.
Sergio Aguero fired City in front before Fernando Llorente
claimed his first Swans goal with an emphatic half-volley four minutes later.
Aguero scored his second goal of the afternoon with a
penalty after Mike van der Hoorn elbowed Kevin De Bruyne.
Raheem Sterling added a classy third after a counter-attack
to take City four points clear at the top.
Pep Guardiola's men had looked a little below par with the
score 1-1 at half-time, but an authoritative display after the break underlined
City's title credentials.
Guardiola becomes only the second manager to win his first
six Premier League matches, joining Carlo Ancelotti, who did so as he led
Chelsea to the title in the 2009-10 campaign.
Swansea's defeat, meanwhile, leaves them hovering above the
relegation zone by goal difference alone - albeit after an improved performance
which may have eased the pressure on their beleaguered head coach Francesco
Guidolin.
