Manchester city will enter the new year with an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League after Phil fodenthe goal in the first half earned them a 1-0 victory at Brentford Wednesday.

Foden struck home in the 16th minute on a pass from Kevin de Bruyne and that proved enough to seal a 10th straight league win for relentless champions Pep Guardiola.

With Liverpool lose to Leicester City Tuesday and Chelsea held by Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday, City took full control of the title race.

They were far from their best in West London, however, with Brentford always looking like they could save something.

De Bruyne hit the post after the break and Foden and Aymeric Laporte had goals denied as City looked to give themselves a cushion.

But City held on with few real scares to reach 50 points in 20 games, with Chelsea at 42 of 20 and Liverpool of 41 having played one game less than the first two.
