December 13, 2017 will go down in history as the day when Manchester City, led by coach Pep Guardiola, set a new Premier League record for most consecutive wins in the English top flight.
Before entering this match, the Citizens shared that record with Arsenal, although the Gunners achieved that milestone in two different seasons (2001-2002 and 2002-2003), while Pep's crew did it in the ongoing season.
During that run, Manchester City has created an 11-point gap between themselves and Manchester United, their closest opponent to the title.

But that wasn't the only milestone set in today's match. Pep Guardiola also accomplished something no other manager in history has been able to do, as he owns the three longest winning streaks in the same number of leagues.
Pep Guardiola now holds the longest winning streak in Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga history.
