And before Swansea fans chip in, it is not the referee!

According to The Sun, the main reason Man City boss is already chasing the title is due to his controversial decision to axe Joe Hart and bring in sweeper-keeper Claudio Bravo.

That is according to Swansea stalwart Leon Britton, who saw his struggling side put up a brave fight before finally succumbing to Sergio Aguero’s second-half penalty and a solo effort from Raheem Sterling.

That gave Man City 100 per cent start to the season, with six wins out of six in the Premier League.

Sergio Aguero fired the visitors in front before Fernando Llorente scored his first Swansea goal with an emphatic half-volley four minutes later.

Aguero netted the second goal with a penalty after Mike van der Hoorn elbowed Kevin de Bruyne, who later limped off with a hamstring injury.

Raheem Sterling added a classy third after a quick counter-attack.
