MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Ederson, 6 – Had one save to make in the first 68 minutes and didn’t make it as Conor Coady’s pinpoint header crept into the corner. Thankful to see Pedro Neto head over late on before City finished with a flurry. EPA

Manchester City extended their extraordinary winning run to 21 games as they beat Wolves 4-1 and moved 15 points clear in the Premier League.

Their 4-1 victory courtesy of three goals inside the final 10 minutes means City have not dropped points in the league since drawing with West Bromwich Albion on December 15.

An unlikely second-half equaliser from Conor Coady - cancelling out Leander Dendoncker's first-half own goal - had threatened to thwart City's pursuit of a 15th consecutive Premier League win.

However Gabriel Jesus put City back in front at Etihad Stadium with a shot on the turn from Kyle Walker's deflected cross.

In-form Riyad Mahrez then fired in his seventh league goal of the season before Brazil striker Jesus got his second with virtually the final kick as VAR ruled his effort onside.
