Comments:

League position: 19th Sunderland had now taken only four points from a possible 36 against teams in the top-half of the table in this Premier League season (won one). This was the first time the struggling Black Cats had failed to score in their last five Premier League games.

Comments:

League position: 2nd The day after it was revealed that Pep Guardiola would replace him at the end of this season, this was manager Manuel Pellegrini’s 100th Premier League game in charge of Manchester City (won 65 and lost 18). Sergio Aguero had now scored six goals in five Premier League appearances in 2016. He was booked in the first minute of added time in the second half. Fernandinho was booked in the fourth minute of added time in the second half. Bacary Sagna was booked in the fifth minute of added time in the second half.
