After defeating Brighton 2-1 on Saturday, Manchester City surpassed the record for the longest home winning streak by a Premier League team in all competitions.
The Blues surpassed Manchester United's previous record by extending their record to 21 games. The Premier League match between City and Brentford in November of last year resulted in a 2-1 loss for the former. If they win their next two games at the Etihad against Bournemouth and Young Boys, the run will last a complete year. After losing their last two league games, one away to Wolves and the other at Arsenal, City bounced back with a tight victory over Brighton. Thanks to goals from Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez, the hosts dominated the first half. But Ansu Fati pulled one back in the 73rd minute putting City players on alert for the rest of the match as they protected their lead.
