Result: Villarreal 0-3 Man City

Manchester City have claimed their second Champions League win of the season with a 3-0 win at Villarreal.

The Blues took the lead after 30 minutes when Yaya Toure was able to stroke home his first goal for the club since last season's FA Cup final-winning strike.

Their lead was doubled right on half time when Mario Balotelli was bundled over in the penalty area. The Italian dusted himself off to slot home and give City a 2-0 lead at the break.

Toure scored his second of the night with 20 minutes to play when he collected Balotelli's pass before he danced past the defender to score.

An otherwise comfortable win for City was marred by David Silva's withdrawal with a leg injury in the second half.
