Manchester City have now made history following Saturday's 2-1 win over Brighton at the Etihad Stadium.

Goals from Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland ensured Pep Guardiola's side avoided a third successive defeat in the Premier League to go back to the summit of England's top-flight.

So, what did Manchester City do on Saturday to make history? Let's take a look...

What's the story? Well, Manchester City have now become the first English side to win 21 consecutive home games.

Saturday's victory over Brighton saw Manchester City leapfrog Manchester United and cement themselves as the outright record holders.

The Red Devils set a record of 20 consecutive wins at Old Trafford from December 2010 to September 2011.

However, Guardiola's treble winners have now outdone Manchester United following a remarkable run at the Etihad Stadium, where the Manchester City fans haven't seen a defeat since Ivan Toney secured a 2-1 win for Brentford back in November.

Manchester City achievement should not go unnoticed It is a sign of just how dominant Guardiola's Manchester City side are that this remarkable statistic has almost flown under the radar - it should not be normalised whatsoever.

21 consecutive home wins is a fine achievement, and there's a reason why no other English side have ever managed to do it.

You wouldn't put it past Manchester City extending that run to a level that may never be matched, given the level of quality and experience in Guardiola's squad.

At the end of the day, it is what it is - Manchester City will just have to do it all over again this season to remind everyone of their brilliance.
