The 3-0 final score makes it look like a walk in the park for Manchester City, but in truth the away team struggled for large spells to exert their dominance on the match. Pep Guardiola's side saw a lot of the ball but it was a laborious task getting through the stoic Hull defence. A stonewall penalty broke the deadlock and City were so much more comfortable once they were in front.
Positives
This game had 1-0 home win written all over it for long spells as City controlled the ball but barely tested David Marshall in the Hull goal.
