The German international Gündogan got Man City on course early with the goals in the 6th and 30th minute.
Joao Cancelo (22nd), Riyad Mahrez (45th) and Raheem Sterling (57th) finally made everything clear for the ex-champion, who without ex-Bundesliga professional Kevin De, who was absent for several weeks due to a serious muscle injury in his rear thigh Bruyne had to get along.
In the table, Man City pushed past city rivals Manchester United with 41 points.
Man United (40) can pass again in the game against Sheffield United on Wednesday.
