Man City hit Newcastle for five, Wolves beaten by Sheffield UtdGabriel Jesus scored his first goal since February for Manchester City. LONDON: Manchester City moved to the brink of sealing their place in the Premier League top four by bouncing back to form to thrash Newcastle 5-0 on Wednesday, while Wolves' Champions League aspirations stumbled again in a last-gasp defeat at Sheffield United. City lost for the ninth time in the league this season at Southampton on Sunday despite dominating possession and chances in a recurring theme of their season. Victory moves the Blades up to seventh, within one point of Wolves, who remain seven points adrift of the top four. West Ham remain four points above the relegation zone, but Villa and Bournemouth, who host Manchester United and Tottenham respectively, have the chance to narrow that gap on Thursday.
