0' KICK OFF: Watford FC gets underway.
1' David Silva puts Manchester City FC on the lead.
6' Craig Dawson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 19 goals in his last 377 appearances.
7' Magnificent from Sergio Aguero! That is 68 goals in 436 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
12' A stunning finish from Riyad Mahrez — that came from absolutely nowhere!
15' Bernardo Silva doubles the advantage! 4-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
18' Nicolas Otamendi adds to his 2 season tally! Manchester City FC lead 5-0 — and this changes everything.
19' Bernardo Silva has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 19.
24' Andre Gray is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Manchester City FC so far.
29' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Manchester City FC and Watford FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
33' Watford FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Roberto Pereyra is hanging Dimitri Foulquier on the field on 33 minute.
38' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
43' Manchester City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
46' A change in the Manchester City FC ranks — Benjamin Mendy exits the field as Angelino enters on 46.
48' A stunning finish from Bernardo Silva — that came from absolutely nowhere!
53' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 53 minutes.
54' Joao Cancelo gets the nod from Manchester City FC. He replaces Kyle Walker and will look to change the dynamic.
59' That is a Yellow card for Watford FC. Femenia Far will be fuming at that decision.
59' The whistle greets Will Hughes as he departs to be replaced by Ismaila Sarr.
60' Bernardo Silva does the damage! The net is bulging and Manchester City FC surge ahead!
63' The supporters are chanting for Eric. He replaces Nicolas Otamendi on 63 minute.
68' Manchester City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Watford FC backline.
73' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
77' It is a substitution in Watford FC team. Gerard Deulofeu is replaced by Andre Gray on 77 minute.
81' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Angelino.
85' Assisted by Riyad Mahrez with the perfectly-timed delivery and Kevin De Bruyne makes no mistake. 8-0!
90' Dimitri Foulquier has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Watford FC.
