By the numbers
The records kept on falling as Manchester City romped to the Premier League title:
Most points: 100 Chelsea’s record of 95 from the 2004-05 fell as City beat Brighton in midweek and Gabriel Jesus’ stoppagetime winner at Southampton on Sunday took City into three figures.
Wins: 32
Just last season Chelsea set a record mark by winning 30 of its 38 Premier League games.
City went two better this term, with its 32 perfectly split between 16 home and away victories.
Goals: 106
Another Chelsea record to fall was the 103 goals amassed by Carlo Ancelotti’s 2009-10 title winners as City’s free-scoring season took it to 106 — an average of nearly 2.8 a game.
Goal difference: +79
Despite Guardiola’s focus on the attacking areas of his side, City also conceded the fewest goals in the league (27) to secure the biggest goal difference ever seen in the Premier League.
Largest winning margin: 19 points
Jesus’ late strike ensured City took local rivals Manchester United’s record winning margin of 18 points in the 1999-2000 season.
The foundation for City’s title win was an 18-game winning streak between August and January.
That smashed the previous best run of 13 games in a single season set by Chelsea last year and Arsenal in 2001-02.
Longest winning run: 18 games
