According to BBCSport:

No team in Europe's top five divisions has conceded as many goals at home as Sam Allardyce's Albion and they were ruthlessly exposed again by a brilliant attacking display.

For the second week running City were the beneficiaries of a contentious offside call but there can be no doubt that they would have routed the hosts regardless.

Cancelo scored while an offside flag was raised and several players seemed to stop.

German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan scored two times as he continued his amazing run in front of goal.
