The hosts kept City at bay until Andrew Robertson’s clumsy challenge on Raheem Sterling allowed Yaya Toure to break the deadlock from the penalty spot after 72 minutes.
Toure’s opener, his third consecutive goal on Boxing Day, was followed by City’s second six minutes later as substitute Kelechi Iheanacho tapped home from David Silva’s low centre.
More good work from Sterling created City’s third as the winger’s firm cross was turned into his own net by Curtis Davies.
The result sees City move up to second, seven points behind leaders Chelsea and two ahead of second-placed Liverpool, who face Stoke at Anfield live on Sky Sports on Tuesday.
