MANCHESTER, England, (Reuters) - Manchester City took a big step towards retaining the Premier League title with a 2-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday sending them back to the top of the table.
Second half goals from Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane ensured a comfortable win for City against a United side that remain in sixth place, outside the Champions League qualification slots.
United, smarting from their 4-0 hammering at Everton on Sunday, played with aggression and energy in the scoreless first half but the game was put beyond them after the break. Bernardo Silva picked the ball up on the right flank and cut inside, surprising United keeper David De Gea with a low drive that sneaked in the bottom corner in the 54th minute.
Twelve minutes later and City doubled their lead -- Fred giving the ball away in midfield, Raheem Sterling breaking forward before feeding Sane on the left with the German's powerful drive flying in off the outstretched leg of De Gea.
