Manchester City claim 18th successive win

Manchester City surged 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League as Raheem Sterling fired the runaway leaders to a 1-0 win at Newcastle on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola's side head into 2018 looking certain to lift the title after extending their Premier League record winning streak to 18 matches.



Sterling's 31st minute goal ensured City took advantage of second placed Manchester United's costly draw with Burnley on Tuesday.

Unbeaten City have now won a record-equalling 11 successive away matches in the English top-flight, a total matched only by Chelsea in 2008.
