    I don't know how you are supposed to stop those balls in from Kevin de Bruyne. It is a wand of a right foot - the pace and the area. You can look at your full-back, but what a ball. Sublime! It is difficult to find words for it.

    Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is still getting in space down the left. His cross doesn't pick out a team--mate though.

    Pierre Lees-Melou is having a good game. He almost gets on the end of a lofted pass into the box and then soon after almost finds Teemu Pukki with a floated cross into the box.

    Watford win a corner. Huge celebrations from the away end.

    It's headed away comfortably...

    Well, it is high on effort but pretty low on quality so far.

    Sam Byram tries to get in down the right but Allan Saint-Maximin tracks back to tackle.

    GOAL - Man City 2-0 Watfordpublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 23 April 2022

    Gabriel Jesus (23 mins)

    It was only a matter of time.

    It's an inch-perfect cross from Kevin de Bruyne. He makes it look so easy but that's a superb ball in from the right.

    It's straight on the head of Gabriel Jesus, who nods in his second from close range.

    It comes on from the right by Leicester and Nampalys Mendy and Patson Daka are both in the box but it won't reach them.

    Ollie Watkins then works space for himself to shoot at the other end but it's straight at Kasper Schmeichel.

    Man City 1-0 Watford

    Chris Bevan
    BBC Sport at Etihad Stadium

    The Watford fans in the corner of the Etihad sing 'we've got the ball' during a rare spell of possession for the visitors - City have had 80% of the ball so far.

    Something tells me their expectations are not too high here?

    Fernandinho is nibbled at a few times before the referee eventually gives him a free-kick in midfield.

    Watford players are unhappy because Emmanuel Dennis had snuck into the box at the other end and his cross deflected off Rodri. They think it was handball but VAR and the officials said otherwise.

    It was a great break from Norwich in a game where they have looked pretty comfortable. If they can keep their defensive shape and break with that devastation I think it will go alright for them.

    Norwich 0-0 Newcastle

    Allan Saint-Maximin is a very skilful player, but sometimes he does try to beat everyone when maybe a pass would be wiser. He weaves around one, two, three Norwich players but then allows the ball to trickle away from him and out for a home throw.

  12. Postpublished at 15:19 British Summer Time 23 April 2022

    Leicester 0-0 Aston Villa

    Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall gets the better of Ezri Konsa on the left and fires it in. It might be Philippe Coutinho who gets a crucial touch on it to stop it being poked in from close range. Leicester definitely on top now.

    Massive chance!

    Pierre Lees-Melou does the hard work, driving past a couple of challenges before setting up Teemu Pukki. He goes around the keeper but wide before setting up Kieran Dowell to fire a first-time shot over.

    Should have scored.

    I'm not even sure why Watford turn up for games against City. They turn up beat already, ship goal after goal, fluff their chances and more often than not just pass the ball back to them!

    Nice play all round. James Justin has some good touches on the right to keep it in play but Ashley Young slides in to stop him racing away.

    Newcastle swing the corner deep and it is poked back across goal by Jamaal Lascelles, but only for Norwich to hammer clear.

    When Watford are in transition, they need to go for the jugular because they can be aggressive and get in behind City with their pace.

    City are pushing high and Ederson's starting position is really important.

    Jacob Murphy is proving a threat to his old side. He is sent in down the right and sees his low ball into the middle cut out. Corner to Newcastle.

    City are definitely close to another. Gabriel Jesus fires one at Ben Foster, who parries it to his left before it's fizzed dangerously back across the six-yard area.

    Oh, that's a bit risky from Allan Saint-Maximin!

    He dangles a boot out near the edge of his own box. Kieran Dowell goes down, but replays show that no contact was made.

    Ref was right not to give anything.
