Yaya Toure inspired Manchester City to a dominant victory at West Brom as £49m summer signing Raheem Sterling made his debut for the visitors.

A Toure shot appeared to take a slight deflection off David Silva before going through defender Craig Dawson's legs and trickling over the line.
City extended their lead when Toure curled a shot into the top corner.
Vincent Kompany headed in a corner as City delivered an early statement of Premier League title intent.

West Brom had a rare chance for a consolation goal when Chris Brunt crossed for James Morrison, who headed straight at goalkeeper Joe Hart.
City host Chelsea on Sunday and the only negative for them was when Toure went off late on with an apparent groin injury.

Toure and Silva steal the Sterling spotlight

All eyes were on Sterling after the 20-year-old England forward's controversial and protracted move to City from Liverpool this summer.
But it was Ivory Coast midfielder Toure and Spanish playmaker Silva who stole the show as they epitomised the desire and energy that manager Manuel Pellegrini's side were accused of sometimes lacking last season.

Silva's darting runs, jinking feet and vision allied with the power and finishing of Toure were too much for the Baggies to handle.
Kompany will also hope his struggles of last season are behind him after he put in the type of commanding performance he is more renowned for as he marked his display with a goal.
