Pep Guardiola's men put in another remarkable shift to cruise to a massive win on Wednesday night.

Manchester City continued their domineering run in the English Premier League by running away with another massive scoreline in Wednesday night's clash with Nottingham Forest. The Citizens issued another statement to their rivals by putting six goals past the visitors to keep their unbeaten run going.

City entered the midweek's affair at Etihad in high spirits as they had secured a 4-2 win over Crystal Palace in their weekend's outing. Against Forest, Pep Guardiola's men determined the game's tempo right from start to finish and it took them just 12 minutes to open the floodgates for more goals. Erling Haaland began the onslaught by scoring twice in the 12th and 21st minutes respectively. Both goals were assisted by Phil Foden.

The Norwegian goal machine got his third of the night in the 39th minute to make it back-to-back hat-tricks, this time, with the assist coming from John Stones. Joao Cancelo added more salt to the injury of the Nottingham Forest by hitting Man City's fourth in the 50th minute before new-boy Julian Alvarez marked his full Premier League debut by hitting a second-half brace to conclude the rout.

The night's result at the Etihad saw City move up into second place on the Premier League table with 13 points from a possible 15. They currently boast a +14 goal differential. Below are some of the records and milestones revised by the Premier League as a result of the 6-0 win:

  • Erling Haaland's nine goals in his first five Premier League appearances is a new competition record, surpassing the eight scored by both Micky Quinn and City's all-time leading goalscorer Sergio Aguero.

  • Manchester City have scored 5+ goals in a Premier League game for the 32nd time under Pep Guardiola, which accounts for 14% of their games under the Spaniard (32/233). It's more than twice as many such games as any other side since he joined (Liverpool, 15).

  • Erling Haaland (5 apps) has now matched Harry Kane (26 apps) for goals scored in the month of August in the Premier League (8).

  • Man City have equalled the Premier League record for longest winning streak on a specific day of the week. They have so far won 21 times in succession in matches played on a Wednesday. Liverpool managed 21 consecutive wins on a Saturday between 2018-2020.

  • Erling Haaland has broken Demba Ba's record as the player to reach two Premier League hat-tricks in the fewest matches. The Norwegian did it in five matches while the former Newcastle United star needed 21 games.
