West Brom 0-3 Manchester City

Manchester City got their Premier League campaign off to the ideal start as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over West Brom at The Hawthorns.

Expensive new signing Raheem Sterling was fairly quiet on his Premier League debut for City and Sergio Aguero started on the bench, but it hardly mattered as Yaya Toure bagged a first-half brace before Vincent Kompany headed home a third after the break.

However, the star of the show was City stalwart David Silva, who was a constant danger to the home defence as he showed off his delightful passing repertoire and wonderful close control.
