Manchester City became the first English Premier League (EPL) club to score over 100 goals in a calendar year since Liverpool achieved the feat in 1982.
A brace from striker Sergio Aguero and a goal each from Raheem Sterling and Danilo against Bournemouth helped Manchester City register over 100 goals in the ongoing EPL season on Saturday. The win also helped the Pep Guardiola managed side register their 17th consecutive victory.

The architecture for the new season of English Premier League has hogged headlines for multiple reasons.
“I felt I could not leave now, simple as that,” Guardiola said in a statement. “I think we deserve, after four defeats in a row, a chance to bounce back and try to turn the situation around. I enjoy being here. I like being the manager of this club.”
Manchester City are grappling with a deepening injury crisis following their 2-1 League Cup defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, with winger Savinho and defender Manuel Akanji the latest to join an already lengthy list of sidelined players.
