Man City eased past Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon with a 4-0 win at the Etihad thanks to goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Kelechi Iheanacho, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan.City were by far the superior side from start to finish and it showed, though they had the gloss taken off their result after Nolitos red card late in the game.Pep Guardiolas men notched their first goal after 15 minutes when De Bruyne sent a low free kick into the bottom corner, leaving Artur Boruc stranded. Ten minutes before the first half came to a close, they doubled the lead when a simply amazing counter attack culminated in Sterling squaring for Iheanacho after De Bruynes neatly-timed through ball. Nolito and Sterling missed other first-half chances of their own as Boruc stood tall in his goal.The second half came and within three minutes it was 3-0 -- the same trio that linked for the second goal were at it again, this time with Iheanacho slipping in Sterling to score. Gundogan got the last of the goals on 65 minutes with a crisp finish after good work from De Bruyne.That wasnt the end of the action as sub Callum Wilson struck the bar with a header for the visitors.Citys perfect day was ruined a little towards the end when Nolito had a rush of blood to the head and headbutted Adam Smith, giving Jon Moss no option but to dismiss him. Yet, the hosts kept up their 100 percent start. Wholesale Pirates Jerseys .com) - Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round winners Tuesday at the Australian Open.
