Pep Guardiola’s relentless winning machine rolls on via Manchester City’s 12th successive victory in all competitions.
As the game approached its conclusion, Oleksandr Zinchenko warmed Aaron Ramsdale’s fingers with a 20-yard effort and Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Ilkay Gündogan and Ferran Torres continued to press tirelessly, though John Fleck unloaded a long-range effort that went close to grabbing a share of the points. In the end, Gabriel Jesus’s first-half strike proved the winner and thus Guardiola and team will travel to Burnley on Wednesday as the league leaders.
