Pep Guardiola hailed his special players as Manchester City rewrote English football s record books with a comfortable 3-1 victory at Swansea City that sent them into the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Kyle Walker, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus were on target as Guardiola s team won a 15th game in a row in all competitions, with Swansea pulling one back late on through debutant Morgan Whittaker.
This triumph means Manchester City have set a new record for successive domestic wins by an English top-flight club, surpassing the previous best of 14 achieved by the Preston team of 1891-92 and the 1987-88 Arsenal side.
