City’s 3-2 victory over Fulham on Saturday saw us equal our longest ever unbeaten run in the Premier League.

The win means it is now 30 matches since our last top-flight defeat at Aston Villa last December.

It matches our previous record run between April 2017 and January 2018 and we now have the opportunity to create a new club record at Wolves on 20 October.

It is the joint-fourth longest unbeaten run in Premier League history, with Arsenal's 49 matches without defeat between May 2003 and October 2004 the best ever.

We have won 24 of the 30 matches, scoring 77 goals along the way as we put together an incredible run to win last season’s Premier League title.

A run of nine consecutive wins to close out last term proved the difference as we became champions for the fourth successive year – the first side to achieve that feat in English football history.

The unbeaten run is just the latest incredible achievement for Guardiola, who is the second most successful manager in the Premier League's history with six titles.

He has taken charge of 310 games, winning 229 of them and claiming 730 points.

When he hit 300 games in April, Guardiola was by far the highest achieving manager over that amount of matches.

He had amassed 70 points more than any other Premier League manager ever had in their first 300 matches, winning 221 games compared to 189 for Jose Mourinho, 188 for Jurgen Klopp, 183 for Alex Ferguson and 180 for Arsene Wenger.

Since his first season in senior management at Barcelona, Guardiola has won 12 league titles. That is twice as many as any other manager has achieved across Europe’s top five leagues in that time span.

Our four 90+ point hauls under Guardiola is more than any other side in the Premier League has managed in the league’s entire history, with Liverpool and Chelsea both hitting that mark three times.

Guardiola’s team have now started this new campaign excellently, winning five and drawing two as we chase an 11th title in our history.

Our win on Saturday was our 17th successive triumph over Fulham, extending our record for the longest winning run any English side as had over another in history.

That domination of this fixture stretches all the way back to 2012 and has seen City plunder 52goals at an average of more than three per game.

Congratulations to Guardiola and his squad on an incredible run of form!
