According to data from Opta, Manchester City has become the first team from the Premier League to score 10 or more goals in any competition since September 1986, when Liverpool defeated Fulham 10-0 in the League Cup.
When focusing solely on the FA Cup, Pep Guardiola’s squad’s achievement is even more remarkable.
City is the first team to accomplish this feat in the FA Cup since February 1960, when Tottenham triumphed over Crewe with a score of 13-2.
Undoubtedly, it was a historic night, marked by impressive statistics and a clear message: City is back in “prime mode.”
