Manchester City have moved 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 win against Brentford at the Etihad.

Pep Guardiola's side went ahead thanks to a pointless challenge from Mads Roerslev on Raheem Sterling inside the box.

Riyad Mahrez stepped up to spot to finish cooly past David Raya with five minutes to go until half-time.

Brentford hung on in the second-half until Kevin De Bruyne doubled City's advantage after 69 minutes.

The Bees got caught playing out from the back and Belgian superstar De Bruyne pounced on the mistake.

City have a comfortable buffer at the top, although Liverpool possess two games in hand on the reigning champions.
