Manchester City 3-1 Liverpool: Jovetic & Aguero see off Reds

Premier League holders Manchester City continued a fine start to their title defence, with two goals from Stevan Jovetic setting them on their way to a 3-1 win over last year's runners-up, Liverpool.

The Reds had the best of the first half but failed to make their dominance count and the Montenegrin punished them shortly before the break by stealing a march on both Dejan Lovren and debutant Alberto Moreno to score.

Jovetic then combined with Samir Nasri on 55 minutes to give Manuel Pellegrini's side breathing room before Sergio Aguero struck immediately after coming on as a substitute.

Rickie Lambert looked to have bundled a header over the line for his first Liverpool goal towards the end but the last touch came off Pablo Zabaleta for an own goal, though City were nonetheless able to hold out for the win.
