Phil Foden has already shown Liverpool FC they should expect more of Man City's iron title will

If Manchester City's anxiety-inducing 1-0 win against Everton taught us anything, it's that the title run-in has already begun.

City struggled to control proceedings as they battled to victory, creating few clear-cut chances until Phil Foden prodded home in the 82nd minute before Rodri escaped punishment for what looked like a clear handball in his own penalty area.

But, considering the late collapse against Spurs the week before, the important thing was that they won - irrespective of how.

The Blues established a six-point buffer between themselves and title challengers Liverpool and if there has been one game this season that ticks all the clichéd boxes of a 'big win' then this was it.

It feels like there will be plenty more games like this over the course of the title run-in. Luckily (we can say that with hindsight) City have been here before.

The 2018/19 title run-in was an excruciatingly tense yet thrilling affair, with City winning 14 games in a row to pip Liverpool to the title. Five of those wins were tight 1-0s, but which were the most unenjoyable to endure?

Any hopes of a party atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium in the midweek immediately after securing Carabao Cup glory against Chelsea were dampened by this dour affair.

Sergio Aguero's penalty before the hour settled matters and it was not a hugely nerve-enducing experience, given West Ham lacked any sort of significant threat.

The greater concern, after the Blues drew 0-0 before winning on penalties at Wembley, was that the free-scoring tendencies of Guardiola's side might have become frozen by the tensions of the title battle.
