Manuel Pellegrini’s side barely had to break a sweat in order to see off the Premier League’s lowest-ranked side but lost Edin Dzeko in the warm-up before their captain limped out

The only real setbacks for Manuel Pellegrini’s side were injuries, with Edin Dzeko was injured in the warm-up and replaced by youngster Jose Angel Pozo before captain Vincent Kompany hobbled off the pitch with a hamstring injury towards the end of the second half.
