"Manchester City are timing their title run-in perfectly, to give Pep Guardiola a fine chance of a seventh title in a decade and to break Arsenal's hearts yet again. For fans of each team squeaky posterior time is officially entered. For the neutral the final 11 matches for City and the Gunners promise to be a cannot-miss spectacle. Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle: Premier League live reaction"
"City moved to 56 points with a goal difference of 31 (one fewer than the Gunners) courtesy of Nico O'Reilly's first-half double. Towards the end Rayan Ait-Nouri could have calmed home tension when scampering free but a miskick in front of Nick Pope's goal enabled Newcastle's keeper to collect the ball. So the game finished 2-1 as City reeled off a 17th consecutive home league victory over the visitors, Eddie Howe's men managing only Lewis Hall's 22nd-minute equaliser."
"By early Sunday evening Mikel Arteta's side will be down to 10 games and 30 points left to play for, after they travel to Tottenham. Emerge as victors from the north London derby and their advantage will be five points, with one match fewer to play, but after this City win over Newcastle it is a mere two so a severe test of nerve awaits at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium."
Manchester City sit on 56 points with a goal difference of +31 after a 2-1 home victory over Newcastle. Nico O'Reilly scored twice in the first half to earn the lead, while Lewis Hall pulled Newcastle level in the 22nd minute. City completed a 17th consecutive home league win over the visitors. Arsenal carry a marginally better goal difference and face Tottenham with ten matches remaining; victory there would put Arsenal five points ahead with one game in hand. The narrow two-point margin makes the run-in nervy. Rayan Ait-Nouri missed a late chance and Nick Pope made important saves.
