Silva was on hand to crash home the  loose ball.City goalkeeper Ederson pushed to safety when Wilson  failed to get a decisive touch on Josh King's inswinging cross, but he  could not keep out the England striker's powerful 44th-minute header.Zinchenko  was forced off with badly damaged nose, having inadvertently clashed  with his captain Fernandinho, while Sterling sought to get City going  through a mazy dribble that ended with his deflected shot coming back  off the upright.The England winger's ninth goal of the season  owed more to opportunism than ingenuity, however, as Begovic clumsily  spilt Danilo's shot for him to find the roof of the net.Fernandinho  slid a left-footed shot narrowly wide, meaning Ederson's scrambled  near-post save from Wilson came with nerves jangling.But Sane engineered space down the left to tee up compatriot Gundogan, allowing Pep Guardiola to breath easily.</blockquote>
