Manchester City have taken a perhaps decisive step towards winning what would be their fourth Premier League title in the past five years by beating Newcastle 5-0 in today's match at the Etihad Stadium.
Sterling (2), Laporte, Rodri and Foden scored.
In doing so, the Citizens have brought to three points, three days from the end, the advantage over Liverpool, who yesterday drew 1-1 with Antonio Conte's Tottenham.
In favor of the City compared to the Reds also the goal difference of +4.
Now Jurgen Klopp's side will be back on the pitch against Aston Villa on Tuesday, while Guardiola's side will play Wolverhampton on Wednesday.
In the meantime Guardiola himself, fresh from the scorching elimination in the semifinal of the Champions League by Real Madrid, consoles himself with the performance of his team.
"Today was the perfect afternoon, three points, nine more to win and plus four goal difference. This is one of the best teams I've ever coached - in Pep's words -. We've been doing these things for five years, and every three days. . If anyone had any doubts, it means they had never met this team. "
The only bad news is that the coach was almost defenseless due to injuries: "for Ruben Dias, Kyle Walker and John Stones are out until the end of the season".
