Raheem Sterling scored the only goal of the game as Manchester City beat Newcastle United 1-0 at St James' Park to move 15 points clear at the top of the table.
The visitors dominated proceedings pretty much throughout, hitting the frame of the goal three times and seeing opposition keeper Rob Elliot produce a couple of big stops.
In the end Sterling's volley just over half an hour in proved the difference, ensuring that City left the North-East with an 18th-successive league win under their belt.

Rafael Benitez: "We have been on a bad run but we have kept working hard and maintained belief. The victory has given us a big boost in confidence, and it will be good if we can now back that result up against City."
Pep Guardiola: "We must do what we have done until now - that is what we have to do, and focus on Newcastle. Focus on what we have to do on the pitch - defensively, offensively, individually, as a group."
