Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Wolves at Molineux ensured that Pep Guardiola’s side picked up a precious three points yesterday. It was a hard-fought win over a team that was determined to show they are up for the fight this season. But as Manchester City picked up another victory yesterday they also set a new club record. City are now unbeaten in their 31 Premier League games. That record is a testament to Manchester City’s remarkable consistency.
The consistency of Pep Guardiola’s side has helped them become the dominant force in English football. They have won 6 of the past 7 Premier League titles. That in itself is a remarkable feat. But the consistent drive to pick up results helps lay the foundation for Pep Guardiola’s side’s success. Without it, the world champions wouldn’t be who they are. It was on display yesterday at Molineux as City wouldn’t accept anything other than three points against a stubborn opponent.
To go 31 games unbeaten in the Premier League is no easy feat. The Premier League takes no prisoners each and every week. On their day any team can beat the top contenders. That was on display this weekend as Bournemouth beat Arsenal 2-nil on Saturday. For Manchester City to go 31 games unbeaten in such a tough competition is a special achievement. It takes a special team to go on such a lengthy unbeaten run in the Premier League. Manchester City certainly are that.
Manchester City’s win over Wolves saw Pep Guardiola’s side create even more club history. That has become common during Guardiola’s tenure as manager. But it shouldn’t be taken for granted as these achievements are rare to see occur.
