Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva scored the goals for the defending champions, who were let off the hook at the Etihad by a series of glaring misses from the visitors.
MANCHESTER CITY rode their luck to close the gap on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League to two points with a 2-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday.
Foden struggled for form and fitness following the World Cup, but the England international has looked more like his old self over the past week. A run of one win in eight league games since December 26 has also seen them fall four points behind Tottenham in the race for a place in next season’s Champions League.Longstaff should have struck back almost immediately, but the midfielder delayed a second too long to allow Nathan Ake to produce a brilliant last-ditch block.
