Three more wins will ensure the Premier League title for Manchester City. After Wednesday's 2-0 win over Manchester United, only Burnley, Leicester and Brighton now stand between Pep Guardiola’s side and retaining the championship for the first time in the club’s history. There was significant improvement from Man United after Sunday’s limp defeat at Everton, but the major consolation for its fans will be less in the performance, in which there were still major concerns, than in the fact the loss at least made it less likely that Liverpool–the team they really hate–will win the title.
For 53 minutes United held out before Bernardo Silva, who has been consistently excellent this season both in midfield and on the right wing, broke the deadlock.
