"Having seen the Gunners slip to a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa earlier on Saturday, City took their chance to move within touching distance of the summit, aided by Cherki's brilliance. In the 65th minute, Cherki sat Omar Alderete down on the right side of the area before producing a sensational rabona cross, which Phil Foden headed against the crossbar and in."
"City were already 2-0 up by that point, with centre-backs Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol both scoring within four first-half minutes. Dias' thunderous 25-yard strike deflected in off Dan Ballard in the 31st minute, before Gvardiol ghosted onto Foden's in-swinging corner to score with a downward header. Sunderland came out firing early in the second half, with Gianluigi Donnarumma sparing Dias' blushes with a one-v-one save after the centre-back's error allowed Wilson Isidor in, before Granit Xhaka rattled the upright with a fine half-volley."
Manchester City defeated Sunderland 3-0 to move within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal after Arsenal lost at Aston Villa. Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol scored within four first-half minutes, Dias with a deflected 25-yard strike and Gvardiol with a downward header from a Phil Foden corner. In the 65th minute Rayan Cherki produced a sensational rabona cross that Foden headed in. Sunderland threatened early in the second half but Gianluigi Donnarumma made key saves. Substitute Luke O'Nien was sent off late and will miss the upcoming Tyne-Wear derby. Foden has nine goal involvements in seven starts since November.
