Default A review of Wednesday's Premier League.

A review of the action in the Premier League on Wednesday evening as Manchester City claimed a record 15th straight victory in the top flight.
Premier League results

Newcastle 0-1 Everton
Southampton 1-4 Leicester
Swansea 0-4 Manchester City
Liverpool 0-0 West Brom
Manchester United 1-0 Bournemouth
Tottenham 2-0 Brighton
West Ham 0-0 Arsenal


Manchester City makes a record-breaking 15th Premier League win in a row with a 4-0 victory at Swansea.

Two goals from David Silva, plus strikes from Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero saw Pep Guardiola's men maintain their 11-point advantage at the summit.

City secured a 14th straight win at Manchester United last Sunday and their latest victory saw them overtake Arsenal's record from February to August 2002.

Swansea had beaten West Brom last Saturday for their first win in seven games, but the heavy loss to City saw them fall two points adrift at the foot of the table.

Romelu Lukaku was on target as Manchester United responded from the derby loss with a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth at Old Trafford. Lukaku scored his second Premier League goal since September - following the November strike against Newcastle - and Marcus Rashford later hit the crossbar.

Jose Mourinho's side remain in second place, but were grateful to goalkeeper David De Gea for a string of fine saves. United are now as big as 13/2 not to finish inside the top four.

Tottenham returned to the Premier League's automatic Champions League qualification places as Serge Aurier and Son Heung-min were on target in a 2-0 win over Brighton at Wembley. Aurier scored his first goal for Spurs from the touchline, mishitting a cross before Son added a second late on.

Spurs are into 5/4 to end up inside the top four, with Liverpool easing to 8/11 in the same market.

The Reds managed to climb above Burnley, who fell to sixth on goal difference, but could only register a goalless draw at home to West Brom. Striker Dominic Solanke had a goal ruled out for handball late on a frustrating evening at Anfield.

West Ham were unable to claim another scalp after last Saturday's win against Chelsea as Arsenal lost further ground on their rivals in a goalless draw at the London Stadium. .

Jack Wilshere made his first league start for Arsenal in 577 days and Olivier Giroud his first league start of the campaign. But it was the Hammers who went closest when Javier Hernandez hit the crossbar with a minute remaining.

Leicester thumped Southampton 4-1 to ensure Claude Puel's return to St Mary's was a victorious one. Goals from Riyad Mahrez, Shinji Okazaki and Andy King put the Foxes firmly in control at half-time.

Maya Yoshida pulled a goal back for Saints but Okazaki restored the three-goal lead as Leicester emerged with all three points.

Wayne Rooney took advantage of an error from goalkeeper Karl Darlow as Everton won 1-0 at Newcastle. Jonjo Shelvey was sent off late on, receiving a second yellow card for a foul on Idrissa Gueye.
