Manchester City beat Swansea 3-1 at the Liberty Stadium to reach the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
The victory also means Pep Guardiola’s men have set a new record for successive domestic wins by an English top-flight club.
The record surpasses the previous best of 14 achieved by the Preston team of 1891-92 and the 1987-88 Arsenal side.
Kyle Walker, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus made this happen, as City won her 15th game in a row in all competitions. Swansea however, scored once through debutant Morgan Whittaker.
Pep Guardiola could not hold his feelings back as he heaped praises on his players for there wonderful performance.
“This shows how special these players are,” Guardiola told BBC Sport.
“And we think of the next one. I know we broke a record of all-time. To do what we have done so far is quite remarkable.
“The record will be broken for sure, because sports is like this, but it means a lot, to do what we have done in the winter time and Christmas time is quite remarkable.
“It is the toughest time, but what is important is the way we are still playing with our consistency.”
Going by their outstanding performances so far, Guradiola’s men remain in contention for a quadruple. They will host Tottenham on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium in a premier league game.
