Winning the 18th match, Man City is 15 points ahead of MU

Traveling to Newcastle's St James Park, despite a poor performance, Manchester City still secured their goal of winning their 18th consecutive match and widening the gap with Manchester United to 15 points.

Goal:

Man City: Sterling (30')

Newcastle 0-1 Man City

Man City are playing at a completely different level to the rest of the Premier League. Traveling to Newcastle's St James' Park, Pep Guardiola's players played like they were at home, even on the training ground.

They completely controlled the game, pressed their opponents and created countless scoring opportunities. Specifically, during the 90 minutes, Man City had 74% possession, launched 18 shots, and had 8 corners. The only difference was that today the rich man of Manchester scored fewer goals than usual.

In a very unlucky day for the two stars Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne, countless opportunities were missed, the ball missed the post several times, goalkeeper Elliott made many excellent saves and once the ball hit the woodwork.

Aguero had a rather unlucky day

However, Sterling's only goal in the 30th minute still ensured Man City's ultimate goal, which was to win all 3 points. This only goal came in true Guardiola style. From outside the penalty area, De Bruyne chipped the ball for Sterling to use his speed to finish.

This is the 18th consecutive victory of Pep Guardiola and his team and helps them widen the gap with the second-placed team MU to 15 points. Currently, Man City has 58 points after 20 matches, meaning they have only dropped 2 points. Meanwhile, MU only has 43 points.
