Man City break THREE records with their 4-0 thumping of Newcastle as Pep Guardiola's men become the team with the most top-flight wins, away victories and goals in a calendar year

Manchester City have broken Liverpool's long-standing record for the most top-flight victories in a calendar year, with Sunday's 4-0 win over Newcastle the club's 34th win in 2021.

City breezed past the Magpies in easy fashion as goals from Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling allowed Pep Guardiola's side to be top of the league at Christmas - and continue their run of breaking current records.

The record for most top-flight victories in a calendar year was previously held by Bob Paisley's Liverpool, who won 33 matches in 1982 which saw them win back-to-back Division One titles.
