MANCHESTER CITY EQUAL UNBEATEN RECORD OF 28 GAMES

Manchester City have now equalled their club record of 28 games unbeaten on Tuesday when they hammered Wolverhampton 4-1 to open up a gaping 15-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola shuffled his pack at the Etihad against the team who did the league double against them last season as he maintained his club’s assault on an unprecedented quadruple.

The champions-elect were made to sweat after Conor Coady cancelled out an early own goal from Leander Dendoncker but two late goals from Gabriel Jesus and a Riyad Mahrez strike sealed the three points.City’s 28-match unbeaten run in all competitions equals their run from April to December 2017 and they are red-hot favourites to wrap up a third Premier League title in four years.

The victory was their 21st in a row and their 15th straight Premier League win.

Guardiola hailed his team but said his only focus was on the next game, against cross-town rivals Manchester United, who are City’s nearest challengers.
