Gabriel Jesus celebrated his return to fitness with a sensational strike in another Champions League victory for Manchester City.
Jesus came on as a substitute midway through the second half for his first appearance since City’s Premier League opener at Wolves back in September.
And he marked his comeback with a stunning goal that settled City nerves and confirmed a perfect three-game start to their Champions League campaign.
Ferran Torres had opened the scoring early in the first half but Olympiakos were threatening a comeback until Jesus made his dramatic intervention.
Joao Cancelo gave the scoreline an emphatic look with a late strike.
City now travel to Olympiakos for their next Champions League match and only need a draw to confirm qualification for the knockout stages.
Man City (4-3-3)
Ederson 7
Always alert to danger, came out of his area to head one ball clear. Impeccable distribution.
Kyle Walker 7
Continued his fine start to the new season. Defensively solid and an attacking threat down the right.
John Stones 6
First start since City's opening game of the season and was assured, with few anxious moments.
Nathan Ake 7
Defensively disciplined. Held his line well to ensure El-Arabi was offside as he surged goalwards.
Oleksandr Zinchenko 6
Comfortable first-half but looked panicky at times after the break, which nearly cost City.
Kevin De Bruyne 8 MOTM
Sublime touch to Torres to set up City's opener and was also the provider for Jesus to score.
Ilkay Gundogan 7
Anchored the midfield with usual diligence. Tidy in possession and rarely misplaced a pass.
Phil Foden 6
Some slopping passing, with one loose ball in the second-half nearly gifting a goal to Valbuena.
Riyad Mahrez 6
Had an early shot on goal blocked. Another whose passing was awry at times. Subbed.
Ferran Torres 7
Opened the scoring with his third Champions League goal for City. A constant threat up front.
Raheem Sterling 7
Had the beating of the experienced Rafinha down the left side with his pace and direct running.
