Manchester City Defeat Newcastle to extend Unbeaten Run

Manchester City Defeat Newcastle to extend Unbeaten Run

Manchester City made it 18 wins in a row in the Premier League with a 1-0 procession against Newcastle United on Wednesday.

Raheem Sterling’s 13th league goal of the season secured the result for Pep Guardiola’s side and sent them 15 points clear of Manchester United at the top.

The only negative for the visitors was the loss of captain Vincent Kompany to injury early in the first half, the centre-back going off with a suspected calf problem.

Sergio Aguero twice found the woodwork before Sterling at last made City’s dominance count in the 31st minute, but despite their total control of the game from them on they could not add to the scoreline.

The slender scoreline belied what was one of City’s most comfortable victories of an outstanding campaign, with Newcastle offering almost no resistance despite having lost their previous four league matches at home.
