Manchester City closed to within three points of Division 1 leaders Everton with a 4-1 victory over Sunderland, thanks to a double from defender Demeaco Duhaney.
Simon Davies' side took an early lead at City Football Academy through Duhaney, 18, and it was doubled after 26 minutes by Lukas Nmecha.
Sunderland fought back and Lynden Gooch halved the deficit on 66 minutes.
But Jordan Sancho and a second from Duhaney confirmed the win that takes City to 32 points after 16 matches, one more than Everton.
Aggression, control and strength as City put in a mighty performance against @SunderlandAFC!
