West Brom 0 - Man City 3: Toure, Silva and Kompany combine to send City top

Vincent Kompany scored City's third

YAYA TOURE looked back to his best as he inspired Manchester City to victory over West Brom in their opening game of the season at the Hawthorns.

City moved to the top of the table with the three-goal victory.
The first goal came through Toure's shot from the edge of the area, deflected in by David Silva

The Ivory Coast midfielder then curled the second into the top corner beyond a helpless Boaz Myhill.
Vincent Kompany shouldered in the third from a corner to give Manuel Pellegrini's side the perfect start.
It was nearly a dream debut for £49million man Raheem Sterling but he tamely struck his first half effort at Myhill.
City were sharp, precise, and far too strong for West Brom who sat back and allowed he visitors possession, only disturbed by their ill-discipline that saw four booked.
