Week 16 of the English Premier League sees Man City set a new record of 14 consecutive top-flight league wins after beating rivals Man Utd at Old Trafford, Chelsea loses to West Ham, and Swansea moves off the bottom three after beating West Brom at home.

The Premier League title race is over. With teams getting zapped at The Etihad like hypnotised flies heading into the great blue fly zapping yonder, Man Utd had to beat their rivals when they came to Old Trafford to entertain any possibility of catching up with the enemy.

And why not?

United hadn’t lost at Old Trafford in 40-games, a run that reminded the fans of the good old days when Sir Alex’s sides were so utterly dominant. If city’s unbeaten run was going to end anywhere, this is where it was going to end.
