Raheem Sterling grabbed a late winner for the second time in six days as Manchester City came from a goal down to beat Huddersfield 2-1 and secure a club-record equalling 11th straight league win.
Sterling’s dramatic intervention meant Pep Guardiola’s table-topping side were able to re-establish an eight-point lead over second-placed Manchester United in the Premier League title race.
United had briefly closed the gap with a win against Brighton on Saturday.
Huddersfield absorbed a barrage of pressure to go in front in first-half stoppage time at the John Smith’s Stadium as Nicolas Otamendi diverted Tom Ince’s corner into his own net.
City equalised less than two minutes after half-time as Sergio Aguero converted a penalty awarded for a foul on Sterling by Scott Malone.
