Manchester City held off an unlikely Leicester comeback to clinch a ninth successive Premier League win in thrilling style and move six points clear at the top of the English Premiership table.

BBC reports the defending champions looked like they had wrapped up the points after only 25 minutes as they led 4-0, with a penalty apiece by Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling on top of goals by Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan.

A header by Aymeric Laporte gave the home side much-needed breathing space before Sterling's second goal made sure they claimed their ninth successive Premier League victory.

In other results, Arsenal beat Norwich 5-0, Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 3-0, Southampton beat West Ham 3-2, Chelsea beat Aston Villa 3-1 and Brighton beat Brentford 2-0.
