Another impressive display on the road at St James' Park ensured that City would be number one at Christmas!

First half goals from Ruben Dias and a Joao Cancelo thunderbolt put the leaders in control at the break against Newcastle.

And further strikes from Riyad Mahrez - his 50th career goal for City - and Raheem Sterling set the seal on an eighth successive Premier League victory.

It was also a day that saw City chalk up yet more memorable milestones with our latest victory seeing us set two new notable records.

It saw Pep Guardiola‘s side create history as we chalked up 34 wins in a calendar year, surpassing the previous best tally of 33 set by by Bob Paisley’s Liverpool side of 1982/83.

And it also meant City set another top-flight record as it brought up our our 18th away win of 2021, establishing another new benchmark.
