Kevin De Bruyne says Manchester City’s focused approach has been key to the leaders’ surge towards the Premier League title. Pep Guardiola’s side beat Leicester 2-0 on Saturday and need just three wins from their final seven games to secure a third title in four seasons.

Goals from Benjamin Mendy and Gabriel Jesus sent City 17 points clear of second-placed Manchester United, who face Brighton on Sunday. City’s 15th successive away win in all competitions was especially impressive as it came against in-form Leicester and with many of Guardiola’s players just back from a draining international period.
De Bruyne was delighted with the way his quadruple-chasing team quickly got their focus back on the title. “They played defensive and we had to be patient. That’s what we did and I was happy for Mendy to break the deadlock,” De Bruyne told City’s website. “I thought we were really good today. Especially the first half we totally dominated. They had the chance with [Jamie] Vardy but in the first half there was basically one team playing.” Meanwhile, Southampton beat Burnley 3-2 on Sunday.
Jota scores brace
London: Liverpool clicked back into form to thrash Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates on Saturday and rekindle their chances of a Top 4 finish in the Premier League. Diogo Jota came off the bench to score twice either side of Mohamed Salah’s 26th goal of the season.
