Manchester City climb to third place after 3-0 win

After an entertaining yet goalless first half, City’s captain Kompany headed home his first league goal since August 2015. Leroy Sane connverted Kevin de Bruyne’s pass to finish a superb counter attack in the 77th minute. Sergio Aguero headed home a third three minutes later to seal an impressive away win for Pep Guardiola’s side. 

With six games remaining City have 64 points, one more than fourth-placed Liverpool, who visit West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Southampton, meanwhile, sit safely in mid-table with 40 points from 31 games. Messi, Isco on target Barcelona: Lionel Messi’s double strike helped Barcelona scrape a 3-2 victory over Real Sociedad on Saturday to keep the pressure on La Liga leaders Real Madrid, who needed a brace from Isco to beat Sporting Gijon by the same scoreline. 

A much-changed Madrid side snatched victory at El Molinon thanks to Isco’s two goals.
