Pep Guardiola showers praise on Manchester City’s emphatic first half performance which eased their way to a convincing 3-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

City were at full force in the opening half as they dominated the proceedings which saw them breaching the Shakhtar defence twice through David Silva and Aymeric Laporte.

The English champions showed a free flowing attacking display as they registered 14 shots in the Champions League clash. Later Bernanrdo Silva added a third as City rounded off an all round performance.

On the back of a defeat and a win in their first two matches, the Sky Blues were supposed to handle the match with a more cautious approach but the Spanish manager decided to blaze all his cylinders in a bid to make a statement.

He said, “Incredible. Our first half was the best we have played in the last three seasons, since I’ve been here. We were outstanding, we created a lot of chances.

“We were under pressure after defeat against Lyon [in the first group game], but now we are in a good position. We can control our destiny now. It was so important to get this result and we will enjoy tonight and the next few days with this victory.

“We have recovered well from Lyon and now it’s in our hands.”
