Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling and David Silva all scored in the space of ten minutes as the Citizens raced to a three-goal advantage.
However the 29-year-old got a goal back for visitors in the 44th minute. And the former Manchester United forward grabbed his and the Potters second of the game two minutes after the restart.
Jesus grabbed a brace of his own as in the 55th minute before Fernandinho added a fifth for the hosts five minutes later.
Leroy Sane made it six in the 62nd minute and Bernardo Silva got the seventh 11 minutes from time to cap a dominant and ruthless display by the league leaders.
This loss matches Stoke City’s heaviest defeat in the Premier League Era, matching their 7-0 loss to Chelsea in April 2010 and sees Mark Hughes men drop to 15th on the English top flight log.
