Manchester City delivered a footballing masterclass to claim a 5-1 win over Club Brugge in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The reigning Premier League champions delivered a magnificent performance from start to finish to put themselves second in Group A.

Despite their dominance, it took until the 30th minute for City to take the lead through Joao Cancelo.

The Portugal fullback latched onto a brilliant pass from Phil Foden before firing past former Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

Riyad Mahrez doubled the lead from the penalty spot before half-time after he had been fouled in the box.

Kevin De Bruyne then set up Kyle Walker shortly after the break before academy graduate Cole Palmer made it 4-0.

Hans Vanaken turned home a late cross for the hosts but City responded immediately to get their fifth through a one-on-one from Mahrez.

Speaking after the game, Pep Guardiola revealed he had received advice on Club Brugge from former City defender Vincent Kompany, who is in charge of Anderlecht.

"We were so good. It was one of the best performances we have done in Europe," Guardiola told reporters.

"I am not going to underestimate Brugge. I know them quite well.

"I spoke with Vincent Kompany and he gave me some info. He knows Brugge better than me.

"He said be careful in the final third, they have a fast central defender, especially the left one.

"I think we made a really good performance in many aspects so they could not be who they are. I know perfectly well who they are.

"I looked over Brugge during the international break. I looked at many games. I know how good they did against PSG.

"It is a few weeks before they travel to Manchester, and I am pretty sure they are going to adjust.

"It will not be the same, that's for sure.

"They have pride, they will see the game, see what they can do better.

"We will have to prepare as best as possible to take all the points."
