Edin Dzeko hails "perfect" start

Man City striker Edin Dzeko hails their 4-0 win over Newcastle this evening as the "perfect start" to their Premier League campaign.

Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has described his side's 4-0 win over Newcastle United this evening as the "perfect start" to their Premier League season.

City were on top from the first whistle and could have been 2-0 up by the time David Silva broke the deadlock in the sixth minute.

Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri also went on to score for the Blues and, although Dzeko didn't get his own name on the scoresheet, he insisted that new manager Manuel Pellegrini has instilled greater confidence in him.

"It was pretty much the perfect start. We played a fantastic match for the full 90 minutes, not just the first 45," Dzeko told Sky Sports News.

"We wanted to show people what we were capable of. We scored four goals and could have had more. I wanted to score so badly but it was not to be but I am ready for the matches to come.

"The new manager has come in and given us something different and given me more confidence."

The win puts Manchester City top of the table after the first round of games in the Premier League.
