Manchester City make a niche piece of history after 8-0 win over Salford 🔢
Manchester City's 8-0 hammering of Salford City made it three wins in a row after their recent wretched run of form, and also a little bit of niche English top-flight history.
Following on from a 1-1 draw with Everton, a 2-0 win at Leicester, and a 4-1 win over West Ham, their eight-goal haul against the League Two side in the FA Cup saw them become the first top-flight side to ever double their goal tally in three consecutive games.
Man City are the 1st English top-flight team ever (since 1888) to double their goal tally 3 games in a row:
Dec 26: scored 1 v Everton (1-1)
Dec 29: scored 2 v Leicester (2-0)
Jan 4: scored 4 v West Ham (4-1)
Jan 11: scored 8 v Salford (8-0)

A little bit more history for Pep Guardiola and his side, and further proof that they might be on the rise again? What odds on a 16-0 win at Brentford tomorrow?
