Manchester City has continued to fire at all cylinders as they equaled Arsenal’s Premier League record after defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-1 at the Etihad on Tuesday night.
Pep Guardiola’s men extended their winning run to 21 games in all competitions in the win against the Midlands side.

They broke the deadlock through an own goal by Leander Dendoncker, which means have not trailed for a single minute in any of their last 19 Premier League matches, equalling Arsenal’s record set between December 1998 and May 1999.
An unlikely second-half equalizer from Conor Coady – canceling out Dendoncker’s first-half own goal – had threatened to thwart City’s pursuit of a 15th consecutive Premier League win.
However, Gabriel Jesus put City back in front at Etihad Stadium with a shot on the turn from Kyle Walker’s deflected cross.
In-form Riyad Mahrez fired in his seventh league goal of the season before Jesus got his second with virtually the final kick as VAR ruled his effort onside.
The leaders face second-placed Manchester United on Sunday with the chance to move another step closer to the title.
