Manchester City have returned to within four points off leaders Liverpool after cruising to an away victory over Huddersfield Town.
Goals from Danilo, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane were enough for the champions, who switched on the style in the second-half.
City have now got 57 points, compared to Liverpool's 60 - with Huddersfield staying rock-bottom of the Premier League - 10 points away from safety.

Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero both started the game for Manchester City, much to Huddersfield's disgust.
Huddersfield made a bright start in the opening 10 minutes, having a half-chance and limiting City's attack to very little.
City, though, did had a stonewall penalty waved away by referee Andre Marriner in the 13th minute, when Raheem Sterling was brought down by Terence Kongolo.
But it didn't seem to matter, as the champions eventually did take the lead on 18 minutes. Danilo's long-range shot deflected off Christopher Schindler and past Jonas Lossl.
Danilo's deflected strike was City's 100th goal of the season in all competitions - the first English club to achieve that this campaign.
Ilkay Gundogan consistently made the third-man run late in the box and Huddersfield couldn't keep tabs with the Germany midfielder.
He made that run on 40 minutes after a fine ball from Fernandinho, but despite a beautiful first touch - could only strike wide on the turn.
The champions went into the half-time break a goal up, but pictures showed Pep Guardiola didn't look the happiest. His side were rather complacent and sloppy in the opening 45 minutes.

The second-half began and City looked to play with a lot more intensity and it was clear Guardiola had gave them a rather stern team-talk at half-time.
De Bruyne's pass out wide to Sane, who crossed beautifully to find Sterling, who dived to head the ball into the empty net. Fantastic goal from the champions.
Almost immediately after, City were back at their brilliant best. Two goals in 148 seconds for the visitors.
Danilo played it to Aguero, who nodded it down and found the speedy Sane who tucked the ball under Lossl, and it was game well and truly over.
De Bruyne nearly got in on the action, with Danilo again involved - with the Brazilian full-back crossing to find the Belgian midfielder, but he headed over.
Steve Mounie was a second-half substitute for the Terriers and he came as close as anyone for the home team with his 30-yard effort curling just wide of Ederson's post.
Bernardo Silva could have added a fourth for City, but his right-footed effort was fairly tame and easy for Lossl to punch away.
The Managers
Huddersfield caretaker manager Mark Hudson: "I asked the players to show the fans what they are about today and I think you could see the fighting spirit.
"We were in the game and the deflected first goal was hard to take. But I enjoyed it today; we were against one of the best teams in the world."
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola: "Second-half, we were better, especially in the first 15 (minutes). Our rhythm wasn't quick enough (in the first-half) but we would take that result.
"I'd rather be in Liverpool's position. All we can do is win our games. Improve and analyse our games and try to improve. I cannot answer about Liverpool every press conference. Now we have Carabao Cup. We will see."
