Man City reach impressive goalscoring feat
Guardiola’s attack has been impressive lately scoring five without a reply against Crystal Palace. Their two previous Premier League games saw them win 5-0 vs Liverpool and 6-0 vs Watford. As a result, Man City have become the first club to score 5+ goal in three consecutive top-flight games in the same season since Blackburn in (1958-59).
Crystal Palace’s attacking are awful setting records…
But for the wrong reasons, sadly. The Eagles are the first team in Premier League history to lose their first six games of the season without scoring. They are also the only team in Europe’s top-five league yet to score this season.
Harry Kane continues to smash records
Kane is slowly making up for the month of August, scoring a brace in the 3-2 win over West Ham. The Englishman became the most lethal scorer in London derbies after that win, setting the best minutes-per-goal ratio (114) in clashes with clubs from the English capital.
113 - Harry Kane now has the best minutes-per-goal ratio in Premier League London derbies (minimum 10 goals). Overtaken. https://t.co/r5smMoaS6L

Maybe Simon Mignolet is not as bad at goalkeeping as everyone thinks
7 - Since joining @LFC in 2013, Simon Mignolet has saved 7 of the 15 @premierleague penalties he's faced; more than any other keeper. Cat. pic.twitter.com/UaradtuXjJ
