Manchester City made it nine wins out of ten games as Pep Guardiola's men defeated West Brom 3-2 at the Hawthorns on Saturday, October 28, 2017.
Goals from Leroy Sane, Fernandinho and Raheem Sterling gave Man City all three points as they extend their lead to five points at the top of the Premier League standings.
Sane gave Man City the lead in the 10th minute after finding space in the box and firing past Ben Foster in goal for the Baggies.
But his strike was soon cancelled out by Jay Rodriguez three minutes later, who finished smartly after receiving a nice ball from Gareth Bale to bring West Brom back on level terms.
