The gulf between the two Manchester clubs was at its most stark in the English Premier League. A few hours after United’s latest disjointed display in a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton, City coped just fine with resting key players in a 4-0 win at Norwich that extended its lead to 12 points. Raheem Sterling led City with a hat trick. City and United finished as the top two last season. This season they are separated by 23 points with a third of the season still to play. Second-placed Liverpool has two games in hand over City. There were also wins for Everton and Brighton.
