Manchester City confirmed their top spot in the English Premier League earlier today, as Pep Guardiola's crew dominated Stoke City at the Etihad Stadium.
With this win, Guardiola's men stand alone as the league leaders, following Manchester United's draw against Liverpool. The cherry on top for the Sky Blues came with the seventh goal of the day, courtesy of Bernardo Silva, as it helped the team set a new EPL record.
Man City are now the first English top-flight team to bag 29 goals in their first 8 league games of the season since Everton in 1894-95

Now, it will be the Spaniard's duty to keep his team motivated once they reach ten games without a loss, as the same club experienced a dip in form after that amount of games, which caused the Citizens to end their title hopes early in the 2016-17 season.
