"Manchester City moved within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal with a routine win over 10-man Sunderland this afternoon. First-half efforts from Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol put the home side in control and Phil Foden added second-half gloss before Luke O'Nien was sent-off in injury-time. It was a disappointing performance from the Wearsiders, whose switch back to a five-man defence meant they offered little going forward, particularly in a passive first half."
"Bernardo Silva curled their best effort wide after 12 minutes while Foden's chip over Robin Roefs intended for Erling Haaland was not accurate enough for the Norwegian to convert. Just as City started to look a little frustrated, they opened the scoring from an unexpected source shortly after the half-hour mark.There appeared little danger when Dias collected the ball 30 yards from goal but the Portugal defender crashed in a fizzing shot that flew into the top corner."
Manchester controlled possession but did not create a flurry of chances early on, eventually breaking through after sustained pressure. Manchester City defeated ten-man Sunderland to move within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal. Ruben Dias scored from long range and Josko Gvardiol headed in from a Phil Foden corner to give City a commanding first-half lead. Phil Foden added a second-half goal to seal the win. Sunderland reverted to a five-man defence and offered little attacking threat, producing a passive first half. A late injury-time red card for Luke O'Nien compounded Sunderland's disappointing performance on the road.
