City's captain, returning as a second-half substitute after eight matches out with a calf injury, lasted only eight minutes before he had to come off. Raheem Sterling, Yaya Toure and Wilfried Bony all scored in the first 25 minutes for Pellegrini's team, with De Bruyne adding a further goal in the second half. Bony then missed a penalty after Fabio Borini had pulled a goal back for Sunderland.
