They're up 4-nil late in the second half of their EPL match.

Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Stirling have scored in the first half of the match between the two top teams.

Phil Foden and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have scored in the second against the unassailable champions.

Meanwhile, Tottenham's Champions League hopes are in tatters after a 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United that will be remembered for a controversial VAR decision.
