Hull City vs. Manchester City: Score and Reaction from 2016 Premier League Match

Manchester City continued their fine Premier League form on Boxing Day, winning their third consecutive match by beating Hull City 3-0.

The Citizens dominated possession before half-time but barely had any chances, and Hull improved after the break. Both sides had their looks, but it was Yaya Toure who opened the score from the penalty spot.

Kelechi Iheanacho doubled City's lead shortly after, all but securing the three points, and Curtis Davies put the ball in his own net to put the final score on the board.

As shared by City's official Twitter account, manager Pep Guardiola again opted to start Kevin De Bruyne as a false nine:
