Sessegnon indeed silenced the Etihad with his fifth minute bullet, a hard-to-believe bit of power behind his near post shot. Hart had no chance, and it was 1-0 Baggies.
The attacker gave it back when Aleksandar Kolarov made the most of an awkward challenge in the box. Aguero buried his penalty chance, and it was 1-1 in the 19th minute.

West Brom defended hard as usual to start the second half, but City broke down the right through Kevin De Bruyne and Jesus Navas en route to taking the lead.
Navas found Aguero, who had two attempts moved aside before Nasri slid in to pass into the goal.
