Manchester City 2 Watford 0

Manchester City continued their 100% start to the Premier League season with a win over a spirited Watford side who suffered their first league defeat since promotion last term.

The Hornets dug in well for the first half but the game changed 88 seconds after the interval when Sterling slotted home Bacary Sagna’s cross.

Fernandinho made it 2-0 with a fierce finish from David Silva’s pass.

Watford did not manage a single shot on target as City saw out the win to move three points clear at the top.

Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores: “We were prepared for a difficult match and we were there to resist and contain City.

“They have some high quality technical and physical players so it is hard to do that here but we had the feeling in the first half they had a lot of problems, we defended well and restricted the space very well.

“It was disappointing to concede the goal so early in the second half but the difference between us and City is high, and we gave our best. Losing here while fighting to play well is a positive thing for Watford.”
