After endured a frustrating debut campaign at City, with injury and illness restricting him to only 11 league appearances, a rejuvenated Jovetic lead the line for Manchester City with two valuable goals.

Sergio Aguero came on as a second half sub and added a third goal to Manchester City's scoreline.

Stevan Jovetic was a part of every Man City attack as he tormented Liverpool's backline with an exceptional performance.

Mario Balotelli, Liverpool's lastest recruit, sat beside Adam Lallana and watched on as his side slumped to a poor defeat.

Daniel Sturridge had a few shots on target but none that could put the Manchester side on the backfoot.

The only blip for Manchester City in an otherwise flawless game was the injury to Edin Dzeko.

In the end, Steven Gerrard's Liverpool side slumped to a 3-1 loss to the reigning champions of the English Premier League.
