Manchester City players celebrate (Reuters)
Manchester City took another step last night (Sunday) on their way to winning the English Championship for the seventh time in its history after beating Arsenal 0-1 at the Emirates Stadium and maintaining a 10-point gap over second-and third-placed Manchester United and Leicester respectively.
Pep Guardiola’s Citizens, who completed 25 consecutive games without a loss in all competitions and also won 18 in a row, equaled the record of away wins in all competitions of a senior English league team with 11 consecutive away wins, a record previously set by City between May and November 2017. Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling, who scored the winning goal in the 2nd minute, became only the third player to score in three consecutive Premier League away games against Arsenal since Nicolas Anelka who scored in four consecutive away games in 2009 and Ian Hart, who scored in three games in 2003.

In addition, City’s achievement is also reflected in Arsenal’s dismal figure, with the Gunners losing all four of their last league games against the Blues without scoring after surrendering last season in both games 3-0 and also losing 1-0 in the 5th round this season, too. So assuming a victory for Raheem Sterling. In addition, this is the fourth consecutive home game in the league in which Arsenal do not win against City, who became the first rival in the league against Arsenal failing to score at home in four games.

Rahim Sterling At the end, he referred to the defense that has absorbed in the last 13 league games (in all of them, City has won) only three goals and said: It’s the same thing when America Laporte plays. If I score I try to keep running and they try to keep the net clean and that is the credit they deserve. “We had a difficult start to this season, but the team deserves credit for the fact that we managed to get good results and victories while it really matters.”
Pep Guadiola He added: “We have had three particularly difficult games, against Liverpool away, against Tottenham and now against Arsenal in the Emirates, I am more than satisfied that we have won by just one goal. People talk about records and to do that we have to win such games and we have to keep winning these games over and over again. We can not ignore the fact that there are 39 points left until the end of the season and we have a difference of 10 points in the first place, we have to keep winning. “
