Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City became the first team to win 17 consecutive league games in the top four divisions. City (101) became the first team since Liverpool (106) in 1982 to score more than 100 goals in the top division in a calendar year. Sergio Agüero's first-half goal was his 100th for the Citizens at Etihad Stadium in his 135th home appearance in all competitions.

Comments:

League position: 18th AFC Bournemouth had now failed to score in three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2016. The Cherries had now conceded eight goals in their last two games in the Premier League; as many as in their previous nine in the competition. They were now without a win in their last seven games in the Premier League (lost four).
