Manchester City’s 3-1 win against Watford did more than just take them to the top of the Premier League, it also broke an impressive record in the club’s 141-year history.
As per the club’s official website, the victory at Vicarage Road made it 31 top-flight wins in a calendar year, the most City have ever reached after reaching 30 in both 2019 and 2017.
Moreover, with another five league games to come for Pep Guardiola’s side, the record will likely be extended even more as City aim to strengthen their grip at the top of the table.
The title race took a dramatic turn this weekend as Chelsea lost in surprising fashion to West Ham, with Liverpool also securing a dramatic late win against Wolves on Saturday.

With the Cityzens now top of the table, there’s a strong chance that the upcoming Premier League matches could determine their status as champions for a sixth time, and this record more than highlights their credentials.
