A crucial night in the English Premier League as Manchester City win the Manchester derby putting them firmly in pole position in the race to defend the title, and Arsenal loses ground on Chelsea and Spurs with defeat at Wolves.

As the Manchester City quintet of Leroy Sané, Sergio Agüero, Raheem Sterling, and the scintillating Silva’s moved through the landmines of Old Trafford, the score flashed up in the bottom left-hand corner of the TV screen.

Wolves 2 – 0 Arsenal.

“Nobody wants this fourth place,” said Gary Neville.
