The Daily Express says that City are “simple unstoppable” as they secured their 11th successive league victory.
After goals from Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane sealed the win The Times believes that City have “one hand on the trophy”. While the Daily Mail and Metro say that City are heading for “Silvaware” with the domestic trophy treble still on.
