LONDON: David Silva scored twice as runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City won 4-0 at Swansea City on Wednesday to set a new English top-flight record of 15 consecutive victories. Romelu Lukaku scored the game’s only goal as United got back to winning ways against Bournemouth. Arsenal dropped to seventh, a point below sixth-place Burnley, after a goalless draw at David Moyes’s improving West Ham United. Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal, who hit the post through Alex Iwobi in the first half, have now gone three league games without victory. Claude Puel enjoyed a successful return to his former club Southampton as in-form Leicester City won 4-1 at St Mary’s to notch up a fourth successive win.
