Man City thrash Spurs to extend winning streak

Premier League leaders, Manchester City marched to their 16th successive league win as they thumped Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

City, who already hold the record of the longest Premier League wins, took the lead when Ilkay Gundogan headed in from Leroy’s Sane’s corner before Kevin de Bruyne smashed home the second 20 minutes to stoppage time.

Raheem Sterling tapped in 10 minutes later to make it 3-0 from Sane’s pass and added his second of the day at the stroke of 90 minutes to make it four for the home side.
