Manchester City’s latest win sees them claim yet another new Premier League record.

Pep Guardiola’s side extended their incredible winning streak to 15 games with a 4-0 victory over bottom-of-the-table Swansea.

David Silva opened the scoring before a free-kick from Kevin de Bruyne prior to half-time. Silva was on target again soon after the break to make it 3-0 and put the game beyond doubt. Yet there was still time for Sergio Aguero to get in on the act.

It means they break Arsenal’s record of 14 straight Premier League wins, which was set over two seasons between 10 February 2002 and 24 August 2002.

 Man City have looked virtually unstoppable with their victories including a 5-0 thrashing of Liverpool, a 1-0 win at Chelsea and last weekend’s 2-1 win over title rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Their next test is a home game against Tottenham.
