I thought Bamba had a very shaky start and Hogan was too quick for Morrison. Etheridge had to make a great save at the beginning, we were too open and their game plan was to get it up to Hogan quickly on the counter as they knew he would have the space and the pace to run at Morrison and beat him.
However, we soon took control and our front 3 destroyed their slow defence. The whole Villa team then dropped deeper and deeper to cope with our relentless onslaught and we weren't troubled at the back at all from then onwards.
Hogan's effort early on was the only shot on target against us so far this season, which shows how organised Warnock has got us.
I must confess, I secretly wanted Villa to get an injury time goal, as I put a fiver on City to win 3-1 with Mendez-Laing as the first scorer at 200/1.
It's probably the best I have ever seen City play. It's so good to see an energetic midfield with every player in our midfield able to break forwards, carry the ball with pace and create openings.
Zohore's value has just gone up an extra 10 million after tearing apart Terry and in particular, Chester.
