It was a successful Sunday for both Man United and Man City
Even Pep Guardiola has said he is surprised by his side's amazing run of form as they extended their winning run to 18 games with victory at Arsenal.
City have not dropped a point since 15 December and have taken control of the title race as they sit 10 points clear at the top of the table with 13 games remaining.
PEP 💬 What a game he [Fernandinho] played without the ball, winning duels. He has been injured and Rodrigo was superb - but what a game he played today.

Now watch the highlights...
Arsenal 0 - 1 Man City
Man United 3 - 1 Newcastle United
