Kevin De Bruyne orchestrated a Manchester City masterclass as Pep Guardiola's freescoring side thrashed Stoke 7-2 at the Etihad Stadium.
The Belgian did not get on the scoresheet but marked his 100th City appearance by setting up four goals for the rampant Premier League leaders.
Gabriel Jesus struck twice while Raheem Sterling, David Silva, Fernandinho, Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva also got in on the act.
City did suffer a couple of lapses, with Stoke pulling the deficit back to 3-2 through Mame Biram Diouf and a Kyle Walker own goal, but doubt was quickly erased.
