Manchester City did not let the opportunity pass and accelerated at the Etihad Stadium to respond to Liverpool’s setback on Saturday against Tottenham (1-1) with a solvent victory, an unappealable win against Newcastle (5-0) to extend the lead and caress the Premier.
Three days remain for the end of the course and the group of the Spaniard Pep Guardiola already leads Jurgen Klopp’s reds by three points.
Liverpool’s setback was a boost for City, depressed after the unexpected European goodbye suffered last Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
Before the break, City, who had previously recalled, in the warm-up, the league they won ten years ago thanks to a goal of the Argentine Sergio Kun Agüero and that changed the history of the club, had already put the victory on track ria.

Newcastle, who went through difficulties at the beginning of the season until the arrival of some new investors, has reached the final stretch with nothing at stake. Calm, with homework done. He did not question the superiority of a rival who opened the scoring after twenty minutes.
A ball placed by Joao Cancelo was picked up by Raheem Sterling who beat Martin Dubravka for the first time. The second goal came shortly before the break, in full offensive action by the Citizens. Signed by Aymeric Laporte.
With the uneven clash, he underpinned his victory at game time. In a corner kick taken by Kevin de Bruyne the Spaniard Rodrigo appeared to take the ball into the net for the third time.
The clash was eternal for Newcastle who only tried to avoid a blushing scoreboard at the Etihad. He did not succeed at all because in the final stretch City increased his income. He crushed the rival.
In the minute 90, Phil Foden beat Dubravka again after receiving a cross from Oleksandr Zinchenko. And in the 93, Raheem Sterling scored the fifth to a pass from Jack Grealish.
Manchester City found relief from their European setback, recovering their authority and determination at a key moment. The Premier in hand is Guardiola’s painting that left Liverpool in his hands and with no margin for error.
