Manchester City's opening goal, scored by Raheem Sterling after 38 seconds, was the fastest scored in the Premier League this season.
24' - David Silva is dispossessed by Ben Watson in the centre of the park and collects a booking for dragging him back and preventing a Watford counter-attack.
28' - Watford right-back Daryl Janmaat goes for goal from distance but his strike fizzes a good few feet wide of Ederson's far post.
30' - Great save! Andre Gray gets in behind the City defence and is found by Etienne Capoue but his shot is turned behind for a corner by Ederson.

Fernando Llorente celebrates after giving Spurs the lead against former club Swansea
37' - David Silva shoots from just inside the penalty area but he's leaning back and the ball balloons over the crossbar.
City have been the dominant side tonight but Watford have had a couple of good opportunities of their own and Pep Guardiola will want to see his side grab another goal to improve their advantage.
42' - Fernandinho's diagonal ball finds Raheem Sterling in the penalty area but the winger's first-time volley slices well wide of Heurelho Gomes' near post.
At the other end Watford have a chance of their own but Etienne Capoue's left-footed shot from just inside the area is straight at Ederson.
