MANCHESTER, England (AP) -- At the home of Manchester City, Liverpool produced a performance worthy of champions to move 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Back to domestic matters on Sunday and City was powerless to slow down Liverpool's march toward the title. Newcastle scored four goals in 11 minutes against Nottingham Forest, but still had to withstand a late fightback to seal a 4-3 win.
