FULL-TIME: Bristol City 0-3 Manchester City
90+2'
BRISTOL CITY HAVE PLAYED WELL TONIGHT
Thing is, so have Manchester City, and if they play with this kind of incision from here, they'll get very close to retaining the title.
90'
THERE'LL BE TWO ADDED MINUTES
And Coisty annoints Foden player of the match. It couldn't have been anyone else.

RUCKUS!
Williams and Bernardo have a little exchange of sentiments, the former shoving the latter, so the latter then comes up behind the former and returns the favour. Fair dos.
85'
CITY KEEP THE BALL
They're alright at that, and the quickly fashion an opportunity, Bernardo sliding into Alvarez's path, his shot blocked by Vyner, possibly with a hand. A 3-0 down benefit of the doubter seems fair enough.

GOAL! Bristol City 0-3 Man City (De Bruyne) Yeah, Kevin de Bruyne is good at football. Grealish comes off the left, slips a short but perceptive pass into the path of his onrushing skipper. And using Vyner as a screen, De Bruyne measures an understatedly vicious curling fioish low into the far corner from 20 yards. What a player!
80'
DE BRUYNE FLIPS ANOTHER FINE BALL DOWN THE LINE
This time for Grealish, who goes at Sykes on the outside. Sykes leans on him, he falls into a cross ... and O'Leary fumbles behind for a corner which comes to nothing.

JAY DASILVA BECOMES THE THIRD MAN TASKED WITH MARKING FODEN
He replaces Pring.

SYKES PULLS DOWN A SWITCH
But his cross is poor and flies behind.
76'
BRISTOL CITY HAVE GIVEN THIS A GO
But they've not quite the class to give City problems - in either box.

GOAL! Bristol City 0-2 Man City (Foden) Yup, as soon as Bristol City intimate even the merest threat, City score again. De Bruyne curves a luscious pass down the channel for the marauding Ake, who squares for Alvarez, and moves on one more for Foden, who opens body and looks to pass into the far corner, but Vyner's deflection means this might end up as an own goal.

THAT'S THE CHANCE!
Brilliant from Scott, who forces Lewis to play a ball he' prefer not to then slides in and finds Weimann, who immediately unfurls a first-time cross ... and it's brilliant! But it's just behind the onrushing Bell, who cranes neck and contorts body to send the ball just wide of the near post.
69'
BIT MORE PRESSURE FROM BRISTOL CITY
Before Williams lumps a dreadful cross beyond the back post; Ederson collects and clears, though the home fans behind the goal think he caught it over the goalline.
68'
SYYES GOES DOWN THE RIGHT, CROSSES...
...and Ake dives to head behind. The corner, though, comes to nowt.
67'
THIS IS MORE OF A CONTEST NOW
Bristol City are playing with a bit less reserve and City know they need to pay attention.

FODEN RUNS AT WELLS AS HE CLEARS
Keeping going even once the ball departs - you know the kind of challenge, his feet forcing Wells to jump out of the road. He's booked.
