Manchester City hammered Watford 5-1 on Saturday to increase their lead at the top of the league to four points ahead of Liverpool’s game with Everton tomorrow.
Gabriel Jesus scored four goals for Guardiola’s side and assisted the other for Rodri and the Brazilian became the first player to score four goals in a single game since Son Heung-min against Southampton in September 2020.
This wasn’t the only record set on the day, as Man City have now become the first English league team in history to win 15 consecutive competitive matches against a specific opponent.
