Pep Guardiola has set a new Premier League record following Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Following Arsenal's North London derby triumph, City won at the City Ground courtesy of goals from Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland.
The result keeps them within point of the Premier League leaders, with a game in hand at Spurs still to play.
With Phil Foden and Ruben Dias both out due to illness, City did have some difficulty against Forest - with striker Chris Wood guilty of missing two golden opportunities.

But the champions got the job done and are now 19 games unbeaten in the Premier League.
The Forest clash was Guardiola's 300th Premier League game and he has set a new impressive record that will take some beating.
He has 221 wins in 300 matches, putting him well clear of fellow greats like Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp, Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger and giving him a win percentage of 73.6%.
Long-time rival Mourinho is closest to Guardiola on 189 wins but the Catalan is in his own lane with a staggering 704 points taken since he took the City job in 2016.

City have home games against Wolves and West Ham, as well as travelling to Fulham and Spurs - the latter coming in midweek before the final game of the league campaign.
City have a knack of being flawless in the business end of the season and Guardiola believes his side cannot afford to drop any points.
“We prefer they lose, we cannot control what they do,” Guardiola said on Arsenal, as per The Guardian.

“There are four games left, I don’t think they are going to lose any points, so we know exactly what we have to do.”
City are back in action in a 5:30 kick-of against Wolves on Saturday, with Arsenal hosting Bournemouth earlier on.
