City slickers hit Pompey for six on historic day

MARK HUGHES saluted his six-shooters after Manchester City crushed Portsmouth to signal the start of the new era at Eastlands.

City triumphed 6-0 in front of the club’s new chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, who has been appointed by billionaire owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Hughes described it as the best display by a team he has managed. He said: “It was the best performance by one of my teams by a country mile. If you had to pick any day to impress people today was the day to do it.
