League position: 2nd Manchester City were now unbeaten in their last 12 games in the Premier League (won ten). This was the first time that the Citizens had scored five goals in an away game in the Premier League since a 6-0 win at Watford on 16 September 2017. A day after extending his contract to 2021, Sergio Agüero made his 300th appearance for City in this game and scored his 205th goal for the club. They had now failed to score in one of their last 30 away games in the Premier League.
