De Bruyne superb as magnificent Manchester City thrash Stoke

This is all getting a bit ridiculous now, isn't it? Manchester City's tally of 29 goals after eight games is the best in the English top flight since Everton hit 30 in 1894 -- the year City were founded. Pep Guardiola's team, 7-2 winners on Saturday, ripped through Stoke as if they weren't there and once again laid out their credentials as title-contenders.

Positives

City were able to ease through the gears to find the net at will in two spells of total domination. It meant the fans got to see some of the best attacking football the Premier League has ever witnessed and Guardiola was able to get his big stars off the pitch to rest up before the visit of Napoli on Tuesday.
