Raheem Sterling fires City 15 points clear at top of Premier League

Manchester City extended their record winning streak to 18 games and moved 15 points clear of Manchester United at the top of the Premier League.

But somehow a game that they absolutely dominated against an adventure-less Newcastle United — with 78% possession and 21 shots — somehow turned into one of their toughest tests of the season.

Raheem Sterling’s 31st minute goal was the difference but they wasted a hatful of chances in one of the most one-sided games of the season.
