Manchester City cleared a major hurdle in the quest to win back-to-back English Premier League titles for the first time in its history with a battling 2-0 victory at the home of crosstown rival Manchester United
Second half goals from Bernardo Silva and substitute Leroy Sane secured the win as City wore down and eventually outclassed United.With just three games of the season remaining the Citizens now lead Liverpool atop the table by a solitary point. And with fixtures against Burnley, Leicester and Brighton to come, Pep Guardiola's men will now be red hot favorites to claim what will be its sixth ever league crown.
'Nothing is played out yet'Manchester City captain, Vincent Kompany refused to be drawn on the victory's importance in terms of the title race when speaking to UK broadcaster Sky Sports after the match, instead saying the win was"significant because it's a derby.""In the league, nothing is played out yet. Burnley is a difficult away game next and there is plenty to play for both for us and Liverpool.
