Seven goals - even without a recognisable striker. A seventh successive victory. Manchester City are looking ruthless in its Premier League title defence.

Kevin De Bruyne struck twice, while Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez, John Stones and Nathan Ake also got on the scoresheet as the champions overpowered Leeds 7-0 on Tuesday. In a tight title race, the flurry of goals moved City within two of Liverpool's goal difference of plus-33.

"We didn't score as many goals this season," manager Pep Guardiola said, "but today was a good run to be close to Liverpool and Chelsea."
