GOAL! Cardiff City 0-2 Manchester City (Sterling)
37' - The visitors have the ball in the net again and this time it counts as Raheem Sterling nods the ball home from a wonderful Bernardo Silva cross.
Manchester City are in cruise control here.
42' - Kevin De Bruyne leads a swift City counter-attack but this time, surprisingly, it doesn't end with a shot on goal as Danilo drives a cross out for a throw-in on the other side of the pitch.
He's probably the last City player you'd want in such an advanced position.
This stunning Bernardo Silva strike was disallowed earlier in the first half
45' - Leroy Sane threatens to score a magnificent individual goal after a run from the edge of City's area but Joe Bennett cynically brings him down just outside Cardiff's box.
The defender receives a booking for his troubles but, upon watching the replay, he should probably be off. That was a really nasty challenge.
Half-time - Cardiff City 0-2 Manchester City
The referee brings an end to the opening period and the visitors lead at the break through goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling.
That really was a walk in the park for the Premier League leaders.
46' - We are back underway at the Cardiff City Stadium and the visitors have made a change at the break, with Sergio Aguero replacing Leroy Sane.
52' - Huge chance for Manchester City!
Raheem Sterling rounds Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Etheridge but defender Sean Morrison gets back in the nick of time to make a crucial last-ditch challenge and put the ball behind for a corner.
56' - Neil Etheridge's long goal-kick is flicked on to Kenneth Zohore by Callum Paterson but the Cardiff striker blazes his shot over the crossbar.
That was a half-chance for the hosts.
