Manchester City are the team to beat this season. Pep Guardiola's side broke a plethora of records last season, amassing 100 points as they romped to the Premier League title - the division's first ever centurions. Their performance away at the Emirates on the opening weekend was brilliant as they won 2-0 and they put Huddersfield to the sword on their home bow, winning 5-1. The Citizens notched three quick-fire goals in the first-half, with Sergio Aguero scoring twice and Gabriel Jesus also on target. Jon Stankovic pulled one back for the visitors, but Guardiola's men came on in strong in the second-half as David Silva scored a brilliant free-kick, before Aguero got his hattrick. And fans at the Etihad were treated to something very special; an assist from their goalkeeper Ederson. What made it even better is that is wasn't a hopeful punt up field that luckily fell to Aguero, it was a 80-yard arrow to the Argentine striker. The visitors were frustrating City by sitting deep, so Ederson took matters into his own hands and you will not see a better pass all season. VIDEO Absolutely ridiculous. The swerve on the ball is inch perfect and Aguero's finish after wasn't bad either. To have Ederson's passing range as an extra weapon in City's arsenal is almost unfair. A few eyebrows were raised when the Citizens splashed £35m on him last season, but the former Benfica man has been a revelation in sky blue. And after the arrivals of Alisson Becker and Kepa Arrizabalaga for fees almost double that of Ederson's, the Brazilian is beginning to look like even more of a bargain. Man City embark on a relatively easy run of fixtures now, with Wolves, Newcastle, Fulham, Cardiff and Brighton next the five in their path before meeting Liverpool on October 7. Given their start to the season, it looks like they'll be arriving at Anfield with 21 points already on the board.

The Brazilian international showed his aptitude in his very first pre-season with the club last summer and also has a Guinness world record for the longest drop-kick. Sean Dyche likened the situation to like having Ronald Koeman in net and Ederson's passing range does give managers something else to prepare for, but what is significant about the long goal-kick? Put simply, it's a game-changer. Because you can't be offside from a goal kick, any team attacking City enough to force Ederson into possession either has to leave enough men back to be able to defend for the long ball or risk getting caught out. If a team wants to press Pep Guardiola's side high - a la Liverpool or Tottenham - Ederson's ability forces the opponents to stretch the space between defence and attack, creating more space between the lines for City players to get into. As the manager explained after signing Ederson: "In the goal kicks when the opposition makes high pressing and it's complicated now we have the chance to put the ball in the other box, and of course we have a little bit more space in the middle. “When I was at Bayern Munich we played Benfica in the Champions League and he was there, and when we tried to analyse them we saw it four or five times and we organised a meeting to say 'Guys, what's the matter? What is that?’ “We tried to work about that because he has this quality to put the ball in the other box and it's not offside. We spread out the opponents and we can have more space in the middle.”<doc-sep>
Manchester City has six points from six in the Premier League after winning on Sunday at home against Huddersfield 6-1. It was a world-class thrashing against a team that stood no chance, as Sergio Aguero stole the show with a hat trick. Here's what to know: Aguero dominates Aguero had a hat trick in this one, scoring twice in the first half. Two of the three were impressive goals, but none was better than the first one. The assist comes from goalkeeper Ederson, who finds Aguero from the goal kick like 70 yards away. Aguero settles, makes a move with the oncoming goalkeeper and lofts it over him and the defender for the opener. Outrageous. Silva's emotional goal David Silva scored City's fourth, and it came off a lovely free kick he delivered into the top corner. Here's the goal: And here's what it is even more special. Silva's son, Mateo, was born very prematurely. Silva would go back and forth from Spain to see his son who had some medical issues being born so early. On Sunday, his son got to see his dad play for the first time. It was such a cool moment, City defender Benjamin Mendy even called the little boy the man of the match: What does the result mean for Huddersfield? Well, things aren't looking good. Zero points, one goal and nine conceded in two matches, bottom of the table. The good side? Those came against City and Chelsea, meaning they'll have their chances coming up against teams they can surely get something from. It's still early, and it's not even close to panic mode. What does the result mean for City? It was the attacking outburst we all knew was coming sooner or later. City has a plus-seven goal differential and has looked super sharp in the first two games of the season. This team has some serious depth and is just getting better. Scary.
