Manchester City have set a new English football record for the most top-flight wins in a calendar year. A great year and still a chance to extend this one.

The 4-0 victory away at Newcastle United on Sunday was 34th of 2021, which eclipses the 33 Liverpool managed under the great Bob Paisley back in 1982.

The win at St James’ Park also saw City earn another significant milestone.

It was the 18th away win in the league this year, more than any other top-flight side has managed in the history of English football.

A true marvel as the 18 wins means City surpass the previous record of 17 set by Bill Nicholson’s doubling-winning Tottenham side of 1960-61, widely recognised as one of the finest this country has ever seen.

The Manchester giants also broke their own record for most goals in a single calendar year. Raheem Sterling’s goal against Newcastle, City’s fourth and final of the afternoon, was the club’s 106th goal of 2021.

Indeed, with two games of the year left to go, City have a chance to extend all three records following their 4-0 win against Newcastle.

And on social media, Man City fans were amazed how the side seem to have a knack for breaking records.

Here’s what some City fans had to say on Twitter about their latest record-breaking win against Newcastle.
