Gundogan masterclass takes Man City closer to title

Manchester City closed in on retaining the Premier League title as Ilkay Gundogan scored twice in a 3-0 win on Sunday that kept Everton looking over their shoulders in the relegation battle.

Pep Guardiola’s men move four points clear of Arsenal, who lost 0-3 to Brighton, with three games remaining for both sides.

City’s four-point advantage over an Arsenal side which has played a game more means they will win the title on Saturday – if Arsenal lose at Nottingham Forest – or on Sunday if they beat Chelsea.

Everton remain just one point outside the relegation zone and could slip into the bottom three if Leicester beat Liverpool tonight.
