About what was expected really - a fairly comfortable afternoon for Citi, with Aguero getting a couple & then going off for a rest.Stoke 1-4 Man City

The real surprise was referee Mike Dean. He gave both sides a penalty for infringements at corners that just would not have been given before this season. I don't think there was much doubt that both were offenses under the rules but shirt pulling & deliberate obstruction has been rife & unpunished in the EPL for years now.
I hope it is a sign of things to continue this year - although one of the commentators noted that Aguero could end up with 80 from penalties this season if it does..
