"The issue is not if Wilfried Bony is good enough, it is that he is not Sergio Aguero, and that issue will always present itself. 

"When you know you are number two to a world-class striker, that makes a difference, and all strikers have egos - or so John Hartson tells me!"

That goal has given Manchester City some confidence and of course changes the complexion of the game. Will Swansea now come out of their shells a bit more and give the hosts more space?

Can Swansea respond? Andre Ayew goes close with a shot but fires over from 25 yards.

"Ashley Williams is holding his hands up, he lost Wilfried Bony, who heads it really low, after losing the Swansea captain with a bit of movement. 

"It's not good defending and it's a shame, because the away side had been playing really well."

Heartbreaking for the Swans, who made such a positive start but that is really poor defending. Wilfried Bony looked almost embarrassed to score it, and not just because it was against his former team. 

Here we go, Jesus Navas goes close as he receives the ball, cuts inside and fires at the target but Ashley Williams heads over for a corner.

"Swansea are having more of the ball, which doesn't really surprise me as they're playing that false nine of theirs, which gives them an extra man in the middle of the park. They're popping it around really well. 

"Gylfi Sigurdsson stung Joe Hart's palms with a shot but apart from that neither goalkeeper has had much to do so far."

Alas the set-piece is chipped to the back post and Federico Fernandez heads clear for the Swans. Wonder what Kevin de Bruyne is thinking on the hosts's bench?

Disciplined in defence from the Swans, but then Andre Ayew trips Raheem Sterling in a promising free-kick position on the left.

Twenty minutes gone and Manchester City continue to probe but without any purpose. "Come on City," shout the home fans in encouragement.

"When you look at the job Garry Monk did, yes they failed to score in recent games and they should be doing better. 

"But this is a guy who’d been with the club throughout the leagues, for 12 years. His first bump in a road and he’s out of a job."

Encouraging start from the visitors. Has Garry Monk's departure given the players a surge in confidence? Or are they still battling for him?

Down the other end and Wayne Routledge is behind the Manchester City defence again. On the right, he cuts the ball back to Gylfi Sigursson, and his shot is tipped over by Joe Hart. Good effort.

It's that man David Silva who pops up on the left for Manchester City, he squares the ball to Wilfried Bony on the edge of the area, but his shot draws a comfortable save from Swans keeper Lukasz Fabianski. 

Right-back Angel Rangel has been recalled to the Swansea side and is up against Raheem Sterling today but he's coping well. It's just when David Silva joins his Manchester City team-mate on the left that the Swansea defender might have problems.

So far City boss Manuel Pellegrini doesn't look too impressed. 

Garry Monk would have enjoyed this start so far, we are seeing some smart possession from the Swans. Ki Sung-yueng is in the thick of things, and Wayne Routledge is busy on the left side of a front three.

That chance has settled Swansea, with Jack Cork seeing plenty of the ball early on. The home fans are urging their team forward.

Swansea are in here. Their first attack plays in Wayne Routledge, who is clean through, but Joe Hart saves with his legs. That was a very good chance. 

Manchester City midfielder Raheem Sterling wins the ball back a bit too vigorously for the referee, who blows for a free-kick. That allows Swansea a chance to get a feel of the ball now.
