Mateo Kovacic scored one of the goals of the season as Manchester City went top of the Premier League table after a 5-1 win at home to Luton Town.

The home side completely dominated the first half with 10 corners and 18 shots but they only had a fortunate own goal to show for it.

Jeremy Doku's shot was charged down and Erling Haaland’s bicycle kick was way off effort but struck defender Daiki Hashioka in the face and went into the net in the second minute.

City were frustrated by a combination of poor finishing and brilliant defending from the Hatters' makeshift defence with Kevin De Bruyne going close on several occasions from distance while Mateus Nunes hit the post.

The second half was a similar story with Julien Alvarez wasting an opportunity from close range while Ruben Dias went close on three occasions.

City eventually made the game safe through a stunning half volley from Kovacic from inside the box via a short corner.

Rob Edwards brought on striker Cauley Woodrow and he nearly reduced the deficit soon after after hitting the bar with a first-time shot.

But Pep Guardiola's side broke Luton's resistance with a third from a penalty after Fred Onyedinma brought down by Jeremy Doku.

It was converted by Haaland for his 20th Premier League goal of the season.

Ross Barkley scored a consolation for the visitors but City had the final say through brilliant late goals from Doku and Josko Gvardiol.
