Another week, another record for Manchester City to devour and another one round the corner.
No manager has ever hit 500 Premier League goals quicker than Pep Guardiola, who reached that landmark in 207 games on Tuesday night. They scored a few more for good measure against rank opposition in desperate need of their protagonists back. Hideous from Leeds, ominous from City.
Jurgen Klopp previously held the record, in 234 matches, and City should take another one by the end of this month, too. On Tuesday night they matched Liverpool’s 33 league victories in a calendar year - set in 1982 if those sorts of statistics are your bag – with Newcastle United to come on Sunday.
