Guardiola is now the latest boss to win his first six Premier League games since Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea in 2009


Pep Guardiola made it 10 straight wins as Man City boss as his entertaining side continue impress at the top of the Premier League.
Sergio Aguero returned from suspension to scored in either half as Fernando Llorente cancelled out his early opener before Raheem Sterling also netted.

Llorente quickly pulled a goal back but Aguero struck after the break from the penalty spot when Mike Van Der Hoorn was booked for catching Kevin De Bruyne in the face with his arm.
Sterling scored with a fine finish to make it 3-1 in the 77th minute but was booked for celebrating in the crowd.

AGUERO REMAINS TOP CLASS

City's Argentine striker returned from his three-game ban for elbowing Winston Reid with a bang as he scored his 10th of the season with a smart turn and finish. The forward showed no signs of rustiness as he struck in the ninth minute and then coolly converted from the spot for his fifth in the top-flight this term.

CITY LEAKY AT THE BACK

Guardiola's men are great to watch with their swashbuckling style but they are by no means perfect at the back. They have only kept one clean sheet in the Premier League this term and again here they looked shaky at the back as watching pundit Terry Butcher, a former England defender, described them as “very open”.

SIGURDSSON VITAL TO SWANS

Gylfi Sigurdsson bucked the trend of expensive sales by Swansea this summer when the Icelandic attacking midfielder stayed at the Liberty Stadium on a new contract. In recent years Swansea have lost the likes of Ashley Williams, Andre Ayew and Wilfried Bony. But Sigurdsson, making his 150th Premier League appearance, has stayed and continues to take corners and free-kicks with his trademark accuracy.

STONES HAS LAST LAUGH

John Stones played in Wednesday night's 2-1 EFL Cup win for Man City at the Liberty Stadium and he finished on the winning side again on his return despite the £47million centre-back being regularly heckled by chants of: “what a waste of money” from home fans.

GUIDOLIN FEELING THE HEAT

Swans boss Francesco Guidolin will point to a much-improved display from his Swansea side.
But they have still not won in the Premier League since the opening day at Burnley and they face Liverpool and Arsenal next in a daunting run of games. The Italian regularly went down on his haunches to watch the game from nearer the ground. It was a tactic Andre Villas-Boas previously employed – and look how that worked out at Chelsea and Spurs.
