MANCHESTER CITY EASED to three points with a 3-0 win over West Brom in the first Monday night fixture of the Premier League season.
The visitors, who handed Raheem Sterling a competitive debut, went in front after nine minutes when Yaya Toure’s shot trickled over the line after taking two deflections.
On 24 minutes, the Ivorian made no mistake from 20 yards after a lay-off by his compatriot Wilfried Bony.
Ireland’s James McClean started for the Baggies, but had a quiet night and was replaced by Claudio Yacob at the break. City captain Vicent Kompany put the result beyond doubt by latching onto a David Silva corner and scoring with his shoulder on 59 minutes.
