Raheem Sterling struck the only goal as Manchester City stretched their Premier League lead to 15 points with a 1-0 win at Newcastle United.
Pep Guardiola’s side started strongly with Sergio Aguero hitting the post from Fernandinho’s cross early on and seeing a goalbound header tipped over by the excellent Rob Elliot on 17 minutes.
Elliot also saved from substitute Gabriel Jesus before being beaten by Sterling, who adjusted his feet cleverly to slip Kevin De Bruyne’s lofted pass under the goalkeeper and in off the near post on 31 minutes.
Moments later Rolando Aarons’s sublime chip was cleared off the line by Nicolas Otamendi.
City dominated, De Bruyne missing with three attempts, Aguero and Sterling shooting wide and Ikay Gundogan denied by Elliot, while Newcastle almost nicked a late equaliser when Dwight Gayle headed wide.
City’s record 18th consecutive PL win stretches their lead at the top. Newcastle lie 15th on 18 points.
