City turn on the style in Ukraine

City's surprise 2-1 opening home defeat by Lyon on 19 September seems an awfully long time ago. 

Having bounced back with a 2-1 win in Germany against Hoffenheim, the prospect of a long journey to face experienced European opponents was a potentially daunting one.

Yet the 600 travelling fans who made the 4,000-mile round trip were rewarded with a stellar performance and a result that took their team one point clear of Lyon, who had started the day top of the group but were held at Hoffenheim.

"We have recovered well from Lyon and now it's in our hands," added Guardiola.

"We can control our destiny now. It was so important to get this result and we will enjoy tonight and the next few days with this victory."

City had 24 shots in total and at one stage had managed an incredible 98% possession.
