Easy 2-0 win gives Man City 3 points against Sheffield

Manchester City cruised to comfortable 2-0 win over Sheffield United in Matchday 20 of the Premier League on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola’s team were clearly the better side and faced to difficulties in dispatching last-placed Sheffield.

Early goal from Rodri put the hosts in front and pretty much set the tone for the entire game.

Julian Alvarez rounded off the final scoreline with precise finish in the second half to put the game beyond the Blades.

It is City’s second straight win after sloppy run of form and the defending champions fully cement their place in the title race. They leapfrog Arsenal to go third with 40 points, 2 adrift from League leaders Liverpool.

Sheffield, meanwhile, remain rock bottom with only 9 points, 7 off from salvation and the Blades face a challenging second half of the season if they wish to remain in the top flight.
