Manchester City eased to victory against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

Goals from David Silva, Aymeric Laporte and Bernardo Silva secured the win for Pep Guardiola's men.

There were also some much needed minutes for Kevin De Bruyne ahead of the clash with Tottenham with the Belgian making his first start since recovering from injury.

City went ahead in the first half when Spaniard Silva fired home with a volley before Laporte made it two.

Substitute Bernardo Silva wrapped up the victory moments after coming on with a low finish off the post.
