'Manchester City are not normal' - Santa Cruz's hails Guardiola's 'historic' winning run

Manchester City's run of 16 consecutive wins in the Premier League is "not normal" and will go down in history, according to former player Roque Santa Cruz.

The Paraguay international joined City from Blackburn Rovers in 2009, a year after the club was bought by Sheikh Mansour, whose spending has fuelled City's rise to the top.

Pep Guardiola's men are 11 points clear at the summit of the Premier League heading into the festive period, but Santa Cruz believes the title race is not completely settled, despite his old club's massive lead.

"The results speak for themselves," Santa Cruz said.
