Huddersfield 0-3 Manchester City: Routine City win cuts Liverpool gap back to four points

Manchester City breezed past managerless Huddersfield 3-0 on Super Sunday, closing the gap to league leaders Liverpool back to four points.

Goals from Danilo (18), Raheem Sterling (54) and Leroy Sane (56) did the damage as Pep Guardiola's men have now scored 22 times in their last four games in all competitions.

This was Huddersfield's first game since David Wagner departed and 23 pages in the match programme were dedicated to his tenure, with a video message from him played to the fans at half-time.

Mark Hudson was in temporary charge but he was unable to spark the hosts into life. Another blank means the Terriers have only scored 13 Premier League goals this season - the fewest in the top four divisions. They remain 10 points from safety.
