After the debacle of the Citizens in midweek in the Champions League against a conquering Real Madrid, Josep Sala Guardiola’s men have quickly woken up to take a serious option on the title of Premier League on Saturday, on the occasion of the 35th day. Newcastle did the expenses, beaten widely (5-0).
Thanks to goals from Raheem Sterling twice (19th, 90th), Aymeric Laporte (38th), Rodri (61st), Phil Foden (90+1), Manchester City made a step forward to the title. The Skyblues club could succeed to the title. Except a big turnaround, with three days to go.
The defending champion, who wanted to save his season at all costs, takes a 3-point lead over his immediate pursuer, Liverpool, who was beaten the day before by Spurs in his Anfield garden.
