Manchester City extended their lead at the top by brushing past Blades in the Premier League fixture. Gabriel Jesus gave City an early lead and later all The Sky Blues had to do was defend the lead throughout the match and grab the win from bottom side Sheffield United by 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
Sheffield United did the impossible by defeating Manchester United midweek and were looking to continue the track record but City would not let that happen and took a lead in the 9th minute itself with the help of the Brazilian striker. City dominated possession but could not create more chances for themselves to extend the lead further. Sheffield United almost leveled the score late with the help of John Fleck who unfortunately went wide.
