Phil Foden and Erling Haaland struck inside the first 15 minutes as City extended their perfect start in the Premier League to six games. Pep Guardiola's men have now won 20 consecutive home matches in all competitions, but were made to work much harder by Rodri's moment of madness.
The Spaniard grabbed Morgan Gibbs-White around the neck less than 60 seconds into the second-half and could face a costly suspension as a three-game ban would see him miss the Premier League visit to Arsenal next month.
"I'm delighted with the performance. I think the first half was brilliant apart from the last ten minutes, I think they found us out a little. The second half was not what we expected because Rodrigo got a red card quite early," Foden told reporters.
"It wasn't ideal but we showed a different side to us today to dig in and yeah, I'm proud of the team. Rodri is going to be a big miss because he's one of our most important players.
"He seems to play all the minutes as well, so it's going to be a big miss. But, you know, we have players to step up now and we're going to need them," he concluded.
