MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) – Gabriel Jesus struck twice as Manchester City beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-1 on Tuesday to move 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League with their 21st straight win in all competitions.
City, storming towards their third league title in four years, scored three late goals to wrap up victory and move onto 65 points with 11 games left to play ahead of Manchester United on 50 points with a game in hand.
United are at Crystal Palace on Wednesday before facing City at the Etihad Stadium in the Manchester derby on Sunday.
City’s latest win equals their club record run of 28 games unbeaten in all competitions, set between April and December 2017.
The margin of defeat was a little harsh on a Wolves side who were on level terms at the 80-minute mark but City’s late surge did reflect their dominance of the game.
