Paul Merson shares his thoughts on Manchester City's 4-0 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League

Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson watched Man City beat Bournemouth 4-0 at the Etihad on Saturday afternoon to maintain their so far 100 per cent start to the new Premier League season.

The home side led 2-0 at half-time after goals from the outstanding Kevin De Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho, who was once again standing in for the suspended Sergio Aguero.

And Pep Guardiola's side wrapped up the three points by adding further strikes after the break from Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan, on his Premier League debut, with their only disappointment being the late sending off for Nolito.
