Manchester City continued their amazing start to the season with yet another emphatic win, beating Bournemouth 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s side have been simply unstoppable this season and the stats prove just what an exciting team he has created and that they will surely be breaking all sorts of records if they continue their current form.
As it is they’ve become the first English team in the top flight to score over 100 goals in a calendar year since Liverpool all the way back in 1982.

Guardiola’s side need just two more wins to equal the longest winning streak in Europe and three to beat it (City’s next three games are away at Newcastle, away at Crystal Palace and then at home to Watford).

Saturday was also a good day for Sergio Aguero who underlined his legend status once again with two more goals, the first of which saw him hit 100 at the Etihad.
