Manchester City's midfielder Fernandinho celebrating scoring the champions' fourth goal against West Ham at The London Stadium on Sunday — AFP LONDON, Apr 30 (Agencies): Manchester City reached 100-goal milestone in Premier League for the season during Sunday's 4-1 win over West Ham.
Pep Guardiola's champions took their tally to 102 goals from 35 games with their victory at the London Stadium.
It is only the fourth time the 100-goal milestone has been achieved in the Premier League era, with City becoming the first club to do so twice - they scored 102 in 2013-14, when Liverpool also managed 101, while Chelsea's 103 from 2009-10 is the record.
Sergio Aguero is City's top scorer in the league this season with 21 goals, moving him within one of a double-century for the club in all competitions.
Aguero is third in the Premier League Golden Boot standings behind Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane, while team-mate Raheem Sterling is fourth on 18 - with Aguero out for the season due to injury, Sterling could yet displace him as City's top scorer.
Gabriel Jesus has 12 to his name, Leroy Sane 10, with David Silva (nine) and Kevin De Bruyne (eight) also in contention to finish with double-figure tallies. Thirteen different City players have scored in the league this season, in addition to three own goals from opposing players.
City have scored three goals or more in more than half of their games this season, 20 out of 35, including a remarkable six games in which they have scored five or more.
