Man City wins derby, EPL title race turning into procession
MANCHESTER, England — Surely nothing can stop Manchester City now.
The race for the Premier League title is turning into a procession after City beat fierce rival Manchester United 2-1 on Sunday, extending its lead to 11 points in a record-breaking start to the season.
This 14th straight victory for City is a record run in a single top-flight season. No team has ever had this many points — 46 — after 16 games in the Premier League. To put City’s form into context, 46 points would have secured eighth place in the league last season.
It’s only early December.
