Man City set Premier League record in matching Tottenham's double winners
Manchester City have set a new Premier League points record after 14 games and matched Tottenham’s double winners of 1961.
A dramatic 2-1 victory over Southampton means that Pep Guardiola’s side now sit top of the pile with 40 points to their name.
No side in English top-flight history can claim to have bettered that return since the introduction of three points for a win, with an iconic side from Spurs’ past the only one to match City’s efforts.
City continue to sweep aside all before them, with their unbeaten run in all competitions during the 2017-18 campaign stretched against the Saints.
Raheem Sterling was once again the man in the right place at the right time as Guardiola’s side snatched a last-gasp win on home soil.
The England international has made a habit of netting late on in recent weeks, with his personal contribution ensuring that City remain eight points clear at the Premier League summit.
