WEST HAM 1, MANCHESTER CITY 4
With the Premier League title already in the bag, Manchester City’s attention has turned to making their mark on the Premier League record books and Raheem Sterling was the man who was behind City’s sparkling performance in London at West Ham today, the provider of goals for Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus, and Fernandinho while ex-City defender Pablo Zabaleta turned the ball into his own net.
MANCHESTER CITY 5, SWANSEA CITY 0
After winning the third Premier League title in six years on their sofas following Manchester United’s unexpected defeat to West Brom last weekend Manchester City laid on a special game as a gift for fans who gave the Etihad a party atmosphere and were rewarded with more champagne football as the Blues thrashed Swansea 5-0.
Goals by David Silva, Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Gabriel Jesus secured City’s fourth five goal winning home margin this season.
Pep Guardiola made two changes to the side which beat Spurs last weekend. Danilo and Bernardo Silva replaced Kyle Walker and Leroy Sane.
TOTTENHAM 1, MAN CITY 3
It was the hallmark of champions – as Manchester City are destined to be – how they overcame adversity to defeat top-four team Tottenham so comprehensively at Wembley.
After losing three games in a row – had it become four it would have been the club’s worst record for 12 years – this was a massive test for City.
MAN CITY 1, LIVERPOOL 2
(Liverpool won 5-1 on aggregate)

Three defeats in a disastrous seven days – twice to Liverpool in the quarter finals of the Champions League and also in the Manchester derby – have exposed chinks in the armour of Guardiola who had until now done little wrong.
EVERTON 1, MANCHESTER CITY 3
In just seven days time, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side could smash all manner of records while lifting the Premier League title if they beat their last remaining obstacle – rivals Manchester United – after they smashed Everton to complete a rare feat of winning against every top flight side in the same season.
