Pep Guardiola’s men narrowly beat Graham Potter’s side earlier in the week in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge, but this was a dominant City performance.
Riyad Mahrez bagged a brace, Julian Alvarez scored on his return to the starting lineup after his World Cup triumph and Phil Foden scored the other.
