The hosts continued to dominate and extended their advantage in the 60th minute through Aoba Fujino. The Japanese attacker finished confidently into the bottom corner after City launched a dangerous counterattack.

Manchester City's fourth goal followed in the 68th minute when Iman Beney converted Fujino's assist with a composed effort from outside the penalty area.
