Manchester City 5-0 Newcastle United:Manchester City close the gap on Chelsea at the top to five points


Vurnon Anita gave away a penalty after just 28 seconds to allow Sergio Aguero to give City the lead from the spot

Samir Nasri added a second goal when he finished high into Tim Krul's net after dancing through the defence

Edin Dzeko latched on to David Silva's long lofted pass to make it 3-0 before half-time at the Etihad Stadium

Silva added a fourth after half-time with a smart left-footed finish when a cross found him unmarked in the box

The Spanish midfielder blasted in a fifth minutes later with a first-time strike from Aguero's knock-down 

Wilfried Bony made his debut as a substitute, coming on for Aguero in the second half A perfect day for Manchester City and a perfect way to prepare for the biggest night of their season so far.

Chelsea dropped points, Manchester United lost and Manuel Pellegrini’s team scored five in one of the most startlingly one-sided games of the Barclays Premier League season.

Newcastle were lamentable. That should not be overlooked. City, though, were terrific and they will now head in to Tuesday’s Champions League game at home to Barcelona imbued with confidence after scoring nine times in their last two league games.

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'. The former Real Madrid manager's side meets Hull City in the Premier league today. Petr Cech will replace injured skipper goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the Hull City face-off. Cesc Fabregas is ruled out for suspension and midfielder Nemanja Matic joins the squad after ban.
