Premier League history: Manchester City makes best start




Manchester City's 3-2 victory at West Brom on Saturday meant that Pep Guardiola's team had the best start in Premier League history.

Leroy Sane and Fernandinho scored for City in the first half in Hawthorns on both sides of Jay Rodriguez's ball.

Substitute Raheem Sterling gave the Etihad team a two-goal cushion before Matt Phillips closed the gap for the hosts.

And, while they accumulated their ninth victory of the season, City also secured a place in the history books.

No team in the Premier League has had a better start to the season after 10 games.

The city's record is nine wins, one draw and a positive goal difference of 29.

In the race, Guardiola's men opened a five-point lead over their rivals, Manchester United.

Zidane hails ´best in the world´ Ronaldo after two-goal return

Zinedine Zidane reiterated the importance of Cristiano Ronaldo after the talismanic attacker alleviated Real Madrid’s goalscoring concerns with a trademark brace in Wednesday’s 3-0 defeat of APOEL. Still serving a five-match domestic ban for pushing the referee in last month’s Supercopa de Espana, Ronaldo showed few signs of rustiness by improving his Champions League tally to 107 goals.
