Pep Guardiola's stars have surpassed the best runs of all time

Powered by automated translation

Manchester City's 16th consecutive win in all competitions saw them extend the all-time record for English top-flight clubs.

Pep Guardiola's side won 3-0 against Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday, two more than the achievements of Preston in 1891-92 and Arsenal in 1987.

The last time City failed to win a game was against West Bromwich Albion on December 15, when they were held to a 1-1 draw.

Since then, there have been 11 successive victories in the Premier League - taking them seven points clear at the top - plus two wins in the League Cup, and three in the FA Cup.

City will be hoping to extend that run to 17 when they travel to Everton in the Premier League on Wednesday.
