You won't believe this insane Phil Foden Premier League stat

After a pulsating 2023/24 Premier League campaign, it was Manchester City who clinched the title on Sunday afternoon, beating West Ham United 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium. Despite a worthy challenge from both Arsenal and Liverpool for much of the season, two goals from Phil Foden alongside a third from Rodri made sure City claimed their fourth title in as many seasons. The feat is just one of many records that City have broken with their latest triumph, surpassing the previous best tally of three titles in a row which was set on two occasions by Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United. Here are some more of the most impressive statistics following yet another victorious season for the Citizens:

91 – Number of points won

For the fourth time under Pep Guardiola, City won 90 or more points in a Premier League season. This achievement has only been accomplished on ten other occasions, four were by teams that either beat or battled with a City side managed by the Spaniard.

There have been fourteen 90-point Premier League seasons.

Pep Guardiola is responsible for four of them.

Two have been achieved chasing his Man City team. Another two have been achieved by finishing ahead of them. There had only been six before Pep arrived.

27 – Haaland wins the golden boot

With 27 league goals in 2023/24, Erling Haaland won his second successive Premier League golden boot.

Only four overseas players have won the Premier League Golden Boot in back-to-back campaigns:

◎ Thierry Henry
◎ Robin van Persie
◎ Mohamed Salah
◉ Erling Haaland

35 – Matches unbeaten*

Perhaps the most impressive statistic of the bunch, avoiding a loss on the final day meant that City were unbeaten in 35 matches in all competitions, last losing against Aston Villa on December 6th. This is the longest run of any team in the Premier League era with the next highest tally set by Manchester United in the 1998/99 season when they went 33 matches unbeaten in all competitions.

35 - Manchester City have now gone 35 matches unbeaten in all competitions (W29 D6), the longest run ever by a Premier League team. In English top-flight history, the only team with a longer unbeaten run is Nottingham Forest between March and November 1978 (40). Relentless. pic.twitter.com/yi8zEEFmzv
