Come the end of the season, last weekend could well be looked back on as the defining one in the Premier League at both ends of the table.
With Manchester United being dealt a sucker punch by Everton, Manchester City took full advantage to stretch clear at the top as they piled more misery on Liverpool to all but end their title hopes.
If the weekend didn't belong to Pep Guardiola, then certainly the teams hoovering above the relegation zone would have a good case.
Every team outside the bottom three up to 14th picked up points while Sheffield United and West Brom both lost and Fulham failed to win at home, leaving an eight-point buffer between Burnley in 17th and the final relegation spot.
