Before entering February, Liverpool were five points clear for the title. After a remarkable run from City, the gap is now cut down to just a point, spicing up the battle for the Premier League title.
City hosted Arsenal and Chelsea in February, conceding just 1 goal and accumulating 12 precious points. City came out all guns blazing against Chelsea, racing to a 4-0 lead in just 25 minutes. Sergio Aguero (who has also been nominated for the Player of The Month award) scored a hat-trick as City completely outplayed Sarri's Chelsea.
"After [defeat to] Newcastle, everybody was put in front of the mirror and we talked to each other and we accepted the reality and moved forward ", said Pep Guardiola after the 6-0 drubbing.
