Delight for Manuel Pellegrini as slick Manchester City seize control

Dynamo Kiev 1 Manchester City 3: Manchester City produced one of their best performances of the season to seize the advantage in their Champions League last-16 tie with a superb 3-1 win at Dynamo Kiev last night.

First-half goals from Sergio Aguero and David Silva put City in control before Yaya Toure made sure after a Vitaliy Buyalskiy reply.

Buyalskiy’s effort just before the hour threatened to make life difficult for City as a side playing their first competitive match since December woke up.
