City make goals history
- Updated: January 18, 2014
Manchester City passed the 100-goal mark for the season as they saw off a determined Cardiff side to stay one point behind leaders Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.
Edin Dzeko’s opener brought up City’s century of strikes in just 34 games in all competitions, the quickest that landmark has been reached in the Premier League era.
But, despite the final scoreline, this game was not simply a celebration of their attacking verve.
Cardiff, who fall to the bottom of the table after their second straight league defeat under new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, worked hard throughout to stop this being the kind of free-flowing victory that City have enjoyed so often during this campaign.
The Bluebirds levelled through Craig Noone’s neat finish and although Jesus Navas quickly restored the home side’s lead, the three points – and City’s 100% home record in the league this season – were not secure until Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero added late goals.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart became the first Man City player to record 100 Premier League wins for the club.
