Manchester City went into Sunday's clash with Newcastle United armed with two pieces of motivation. To right the wrongs of Wednesday's collapse against Real Madrid and to capitalise on Premier League title rivals Liverpool dropping points against Tottenham.
Much was made of how Pep Guardiola and City would react when they faced Newcastle at the Etihad. From the early stages you could tell there would be no repeat of Wednesday's embarrassment.
Speaking before the game, former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand predicted that City would pull no punches against Eddie Howe's side, saying he thought their players would need 'no team talk' from Guardiola to fire them up.
