3. Manchester City defeats Fulham comprehensively:

Manchester City did not have the perfect start this season as they did drop points against Wolves. With four wins and a draw, City should be at the top of the table, if not for Liverpool and Chelsea's perfect record.

Leroy Sane started for the first time this season and combined well with David Silva and Barnardo to get the first goal for City. For Sane, it was an additional opportunity to prove his doubters wrong. Toni Kroos, his German teammate had explained to the media about Sane's careless attitude while playing and Guardiola had also dropped Sane from his squad amidst rumors of attitude issues. But the 22-year-old Premier League Young Player of the year held his own and scored to restore normalcy.

The next opponents for Manchester City are Lyon. Guardiola's men will have a sterner test this season as Liverpool and Chelsea will be title challengers in the Premier League and at the same time would be looking to improve on their Champions League performance as well.
