Early rise, some positions that did not often start for Man City such as Danilo, Laporte or Bernardo Silva have been on the field from the start. The away team is cautious when starting with a 5-4-1 formation.
Man City dominated the game from the first minutes. They opened the scoring early in the 12th minute. In an attack on the left wing, Sterling passed it to David Silva to control the ball and then fired an accurate shot.
It only took 4 more minutes, the gap was doubled. Fabian Delph crossed just wide from the left wing for Sterling to tap the ball into the net.
It was not until the 24th minute that Swansea had their first shot. However, Martin Olsson's free kick did not get past the fence.
That was also almost the only shot of the "Blackots" in the first half when their ball possession in the first half was less than 20%. The number of passes that Swansea have made is only a fraction compared to the home team.
The situation on the field in the second half did not change at all. Kevin De Bruyne put his name on the scorer list in the 54th minute. With a gap of about 25 m, the Belgian midfielder launched a giant fall into the top corner of Fabianski's goal.
The fourth goal for Man City also did not surprise many people. Federico Fernandez clearly fouled Sterling in the away team's penalty area. On the 11m mark, Gabriel Jesus sent the ball to the post but Bernardo Silva successfully rushed in the rebound.
Benjamin Mendy was then brought on by Pep Guardiola. The French defender has played five Premier League games this season, qualifying for the medal when Man City lifted the trophy on 6 May.
As for striker Gabriel Jesus, after many unfortunate misses, he scored in the 88th minute. Yaya Toure hung the ball for him to escape, headed it beautifully, sealing the score at 5-0.
In the entire match, Man City made 1015 passes, becoming the first team in Premier League history to have over 1,000 passes in 1 match. Their passing accuracy rate is also up to 93%.
The new Premier League champions' points have reached 90 after this victory. Meanwhile, Swansea still have 33 points, ranked 17th on the rankings, 4 points above the relegation zone.
