Manchester City players celebrating a goal against Swansea City during the English Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday — Internet MANCHESTER, Apr 23 (AP): Manchester City is chasing more records now the Premier League title has been wrapped up.
A 5-0 win over Swansea got the champions closer to a few of them.
David Silva scored one goal and set up another for Raheem Sterling in the first half, before further strikes by Kevin De Bruyne - a thunderous 25-meter effort - Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus sealed an easy win for City amid a party atmosphere at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
After the final whistle, thousands of City fans came onto the field to mob the players and sing songs, continuing the celebrations a week after the team clinched a third league title in seven years with a record-equaling five matches to spare. It was good-natured but will still likely result in a charge by the Football Association.
Having already won a record 18 straight games this season, City is within reach of more milestones to underline one of the most stunning seasons in English soccer.
With four games left, City needs six more points to post the most points outright in a Premier League campaign.
