Pep Guardiola hails Manchester City's unity after victory at Leeds United maintained their one-point lead in the Premier League title race following Liverpool's win at Newcastle

Pep Guardiola lauded Manchester City's togetherness as they responded to Liverpool's early victory and maintained a one-point lead in the title race.

Jurgen Klopp's side piled the pressure on the defending champions by beating Newcastle United at lunchtime before City swept Leeds United aside at Elland Road.

City ran out four-goal winners – Rodri, Nathan Ake, Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho scoring - but had to weather heavy first-half pressure to cement last night's win.
