Man City's super Saturday restores title grip

Had this week gone wrong for Guardiola, the English champions could have found themselves nine points adrift of Chelsea, Liverpool and United – the three sides hotly tipped to pose more of a challenge for the title this season.A 0-0 draw at home to Southampton last weekend reopened the debate of why City spent £100 million on Jack Grealish in the transfer window rather than a goalscorer to fill the shoes of the departed Sergio Aguero.

“For 60 minutes, until the goal, we were very strong in the last 20 metres of the field but only there unfortunately. The other 80 metres, we were not good enough,” said Tuchel. Even the one centre-forward available to Guardiola, Gabriel Jesus, has been rebranded as a right winger so far this season.– The Guardiola way -Jesus showed why he is not trusted through the middle as he missed two glorious chances either side of his decisive goal, which only found the net via the aid of a deflection off Jorginho.

Ronaldo could not rescue Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men as he failed to score for the first time since returning to Old Trafford in a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
