Pep Guardiola’s march towards a third title in four years continued against one of the sides that were supposed to be capable of ending a Manchester City unbeaten run that now stands at 27 games, the last 20 of them victories.

This is dominance on an industrial scale that has never been seen before in the Premier League era. Somehow beaten to the title by a staggering 18 points by Liverpool last season, Guardiola has reinvented Manchester City this year to such an extent that, by Saturday, they had built a 22-point lead over Jurgen Klopp’s defending champions.
