Manchester City stormed to the top of the English Premier League on Tuesday with a 5-0 demolition of West Brom to extend their winning streak to 11 games. Ilkay Gundogan scored twice, while Joao Cancelo, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling were also on target as Pep Guardiola's men moved a point ahead of local rivals Manchester United at the top of the table.
"Good result. In general, a good performance and three more points," said a satisfied Guardiola. Liverpool and City have battled for EPL supremacy over the past three seasons. But Liverpool's five-game winless league run has allowed City to open up a seven-point lead over the champions. The Baggies were the last side to take points off the leaders with a shock 1-1 draw at the Etihad last month that still was not enough to save Slaven Bilic from the sack.
