We didn't win those matches fine, most of our dropped points came at top 6 opponents - City at home and away, Arsenal away, United away, and Chelsea away. Also Everton away is a thing.

And also, we were never 8 points ahead last season. At our best we were 7 points ahead and that was right before we faced City at the Etihad.

Of the top 4 you beat Chelsea at home drew away ( away game was at the start of the season before the 7 point lead), beat Spurs H&A, and only lost to City and drew away, the two outsiders MUN you beat at home drew away and Arsenal you beat at home drew away (this draw was also before the 7 point lead) while it can be argued you dropped points here these weren't the games that killed you it was the games against Leicester at home, West Ham away, Everton away.

Your game against City was in January when you had the 7 point lead of the points you dropped to the top 6 only the matches against City away and United away came after this point the games I've mentioned here came after with Leicester being the first of the matches you dropped points after your loss to City and west ham directly after that at which point City went top then came the United game and Everton shortly after that. Of the top 6 only City and United really played a role in you surrendering the title when you had a 7 point lead.
