Manchester City got their Champions League Group C campaign off to a winning start with a 4-0 triumph over Borussia Monchengladbach at the Etihad Stadium.
The match, which had to be rearranged due to a waterlogged pitch, witnessed a hat-trick from Sergio Aguero, as well as a late goal from substitute Kelechi Iheanacho.
Pep Guardiola's side currently match Barcelona with three points, while fellow group opponents Celtic and Gladbach are yet to get off the mark.

He told reporters: "We have big, big targets in the Champions League. We are far to compete from the best teams in Europe. We have to improve a lot of things. We're first in the Premier League but the way we have played until now, it will be not enough to win the Premier League so you have to improve.
"Gladbach are a brave team, one of the best teams in Europe right now. They have a lot of quality. The draw was difficult for us. They beat me many times [two of the last four meetings, the other two were draws] and they are aggressive. They make the game one-on-one in the build-up and when that happens it is a fight, man to man. With the ball they are so, so intelligent."
"We weren't good enough on Saturday but that has little to do with tomorrow's game. City are favourites. Their results speak for themselves. They have a very good chance [of winning the competition]. They are trying to soften expectations but are one of the best teams in the world, have spent a lot of money and have one of the best coaches in the world on the bench."
