Manchester City moved to the top of the Premier League on Saturday thrashing Southampton 4-0, while Chelsea eased to a 3-0 victory against Wolves.

Erling Haaland extended his incredible scoring run to 10 successive games as Joao Cancelo, Phil Foden, and Riyad Mahrez netted for Pep Guardiola’s side to seal another one-sided success at the Etihad Stadium.

Haaland has scored an astonishing 20 goals in his first 12 competitive games since his £51 million ($56 million) move from Borussia Dortmund.

Fuelled by the Norway striker, City are the first club to score at least three goals in nine consecutive top-flight home matches since Wolves in 1959.

The champions are now two points clear of second-placed Arsenal ahead of the north London club’s clash with Liverpool on Sunday.

Guardiola’s remarkable team have only lost one of their last 37 league games as they chase a fifth English title in the last six seasons.

City have scored 24 goals in their last six games, winning eight of their last nine games across all competitions.

Chelsea, on the other hand, showing the depth of their squad, took the lead when Kai Havertz netted three minutes into first-half stoppage-time with a looping header from Mason Mount’s pin-point cross.

Christian Pulisic put Chelsea in complete control with a cute finish after exchanging passes with Mount in the 54th minute.

Armando Broja grabbed his first goal for Chelsea with a 20-yard drive in the 90th minute.

After their spluttering form at the end of Tuchel’s reign, Chelsea are up to fourth place, although Brighton would go back above them with a win against Tottenham in Saturday’s late game.

Managerless Wolves, who sacked Bruno Lage earlier in the week, remain in the relegation zone after a third successive defeat.
