After Arsenal’s defeat on Saturday afternoon, City knew a win in London would keep us hot on the heels of the league-leaders, who are set to visit the Etihad Stadium next Sunday.
After a cagey first 45 minutes, Pep Guardiola’s men took control after the interval, with Nico O’Reilly heading us in front from Rayan Cherki’s cross.

Shortly before the hour mark, Guéhi made it 2-0 with his first Premier League goal for City, assisted again by the impressive Cherki, before Jeremy Doku added a third.
“I think second-half especially we did well,” said Guéhi in an interview after the game. “We just want to improve, just want to get better.
“When you have players like this guy [Cherki], it’s fantastic. Keep our feet on the ground, recover, and focus on the next one.
“The most important thing was we did the job today. We can focus on the game coming up now. Everyone did their job today. Thanks to everyone today for helping us and let’s just move onto the next one.”
Pep’s side are now six points behind Arsenal with a game in hand, and will host the Gunners next Sunday in a crucial top-of-the-table encounter in Manchester.
When asked about how it feels to be involved in such an intriguing title chase, Guéhi said:
“It’s great, it’s fantastic.”
