Huddersfield Town vs Manchester City 0-3 Goals & Highlights EPL 2019

Danilo, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane got the goals as Manchester City kept the pressure on Liverpool with a 3-0 victory at Huddersfield.

Manchester City went past 100 goals for the season and closed back to within four points of Premier League leaders Liverpool with a 3-0 win at Huddersfield Town.

Danilo's deflected long-range effort brought up that landmark, achieved across all competitions, after 18 minutes but Pep Guardiola's side were some way from their fluent best during the first half.

Raheem Sterling headed home the crucial second early in the second period before fellow winger Leroy Sane got in on the act, puncturing a buoyant Huddersfield crowd that came to celebrate David Wagner's tenure.

Caretaker boss Mark Hudson stepped in after Wagner's departure this week and oversaw a battling display, albeit from a team 10 points from safety at the foot of the table.

Sergio Aguero prodded wide in the third minute after exchanging passes with Sterling, whose strong penalty claims fell on deaf ears when he was brought down by Terence Kongolo.

City were unlucky on that occasion, but their opening goal came with a slice of fortune as Danilo's speculative long-range effort spun off Christopher Schindler and beyond the helpless Jonas Lossl.

Ilkay Gundogan went close to doubling the visitors' lead as the end of a scrappy opening 45 minutes approached.

The Germany midfielder was involved in the move that put the game beyond Huddersfield in the 54th minute as Sane stayed just onside to collect Kevin De Bruyne's pass for Sterling to head home.
