Manchester City hit a 123-year high in English top-flight football with its 7-2 destruction of Stoke City on Saturday.
Two goals from Gabriel Jesus and one each for Raheem Sterling, David Silva, Fernandinho, Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva gave Pep Guardiola's side a spectacular win that puts the side two points clear at the top of the Premier League.

The result means City has scored 29 goals in its first eight matches of the season, which is a record in the Premier League era and the best tally since the 19th century. The last time a team achieved such a feat was in the 1894-95 season, when Everton managed 30 goals in its first eight matches.
City's win came after second-placed Manchester United played out a dour 0-0 draw with Liverpool at Anfield.
