Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini was delighted with their 4-0 win at Bournemouth.

Pellegrini hailed "three beautiful goals" in the first 20 minutes that helped topple Bournemouth 4-0 at the Vitality Stadium, with fit-again Kevin De Bruyne the key performer.

"If you have all your players 100 per cent fit, and playing all of them together, you win more games," the Chilean said, lamenting City's injury catalogue.

"That's the way we started the season, winning the first five games.

"I am very happy with the response of the squad because except for those three key home games, it's not a bad season otherwise.

"So with players like Kevin De Bruyne coming back hopefully we can return all our key players together, and I hope we can finish the season the same way we started."

Fernando, De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero all struck inside 20 minutes on the south coast to put City in cruise control on Saturday, before Aleksandar Kolarov fired a fourth at the death.
