League position: 1st With seven games left to play in this Premier League season, Manchester City were now 17 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United. City had now won their last 15 away games in all competitions. Benjamin Mendy had now scored two goals in his last six appearances in the Premier League, having failed to score in his first 39 games in the division. Fernandinho scored after five minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
