In 2017, Sky Sports and Opta analysed all 2,766 occasions up to that point where a Premier League club had held a two-goal lead. Of those, 2,481 ended up winning the fixture, with 212 ending as draws and 73 in defeats. In other words, 90 per cent of teams who go two up win the game, 7.4 per cent draw, and only 2.6 per cent lose.

Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, will not step back after his team lost at Brighton. It's the fourth consecutive loss for City, or two Premier League games in a row, they didn't get the points.
