Comments:

League position: 1st This was Manchester City's 21st consecutive win in all competitions to break their own all-time record for the most consecutive wins by a team in the top division in all competitions that they had set in the 2017-18 season (20 games). City were now unbeaten in 28 games in all competitions (won 25) to equal their club record; previously from April to December in 2018. They had not now been behind in any of their last 19 games in the Premier League to equal the competition record set by Arsenal from December 1998 to May 1999. Riyad Mahrez scored Manchester City's third goal in the final minute of normal time at the end of the game before Gabriel Jesus added their fourth in the third minute of added time.

Comments:

League position: 12th This was Wolverhampton Wanderers' first defeat in their last six games in the Premier League (won three). Wolves had now not won an away game in the top division at the league leaders since a 1-0 victory at Liverpool on 14 January 1984. Conor Coady scored his first goal since 21 April 2018 in Wanderers’ 4-0 win at Bolton Wanderers; the game when they clinched the League Championship title.
