Match Stats: Manchester City 5-0 Swansea City
All the match stats as Premier League champions Manchester City romp to victory against a very poor and lethargic Swansea City side.
Well, it was a perfect afternoon for Manchester City, and a forgetful and pretty woeful effort from the Swans.
It was ‘sit back and let them strut their stuff’, stuff. Guardiola’s side enjoyed 83% possession, and I’m surprised it wasn’t in the high 80’s, and from that attempted 1015 passes, with 942 successful.
Gundogan for @ManCity managed 138 accurate passes today, just 2 less than the entire @SwansOfficial team combined over the 90 minutes. #MCISWA

1015 – Manchester City attempted 1015 passes against Swansea (942 completed), becoming the first team to attempt 1000+ in a Premier League game (since 2003/04). Futuristic. pic.twitter.com/PGA8ZAVtvJ
