A Step Closer
Written by admin on May 8, 2014
Manchester City took a giant stride towards their second Premier League title in three years as a second-half rout of Aston Villa moved them top of the table with one game left to play.
City had spent only 11 days at the summit all season, but now lead Liverpool by two points with a far superior goal difference heading into Sunday’s final round of matches.
They effectively need a point at home to West Ham, while Liverpool will host Newcastle knowing their hopes of a first championship in 24 years are looking unlikely.
Meanwhile Sunderland ensured their Premier League status with victory over West Bromwich Albion, effectively relegating Norwich who join Cardiff & Fulham in the Championship next season.
