Manchester City picked up yet another win and a clean sheet on Saturday afternoon, beating Sheffield United 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
City went into the game with seven wins in a row, and just one goal conceded in that time having shown remarkable consistency at the back.
City grabbed all three points thanks to an early goal yesterday, with Gabriel Jesus firing home from close range after superb work from Ferran Torres.
Pep Guardiola’s men couldn’t find the second goal, but still ran out winners as City’s defence again stood firm with another clean sheet.
City are becoming the clear favourites for the Premier League title right now, and Guardiola’s strength in depth is clear.
Ferran Torres was given a start on the right flank against the Blades, and he chipped in with a fine assist for the winning goal.
The Spaniard was making just his eighth Premier League start since arriving from Valencia for £20.8million over the summer – and fans have been praising his display.
Some have praised him as a ‘bargain’, believing that the fee City paid was ‘peanuts’ based on Saturday’s performance.
Others believe his potential is huge, and he will end up showing fans just how good he really is having turned in a ‘masterclass’ against the Blades.
