Manchester City have scored 27 goals in just seven Premier League matches, matching a mark set by Everton back in 1894.
In their latest victory, City beat Everton with a score of 3-1.
Gabriel Jesus opened the score, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalized it for Everton. However, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling clinched a victory for Pep Guardiola’s side.
However, despite +20 goal difference it’s still worrying that City conceded seven goals in seven games.
City were all over the place at set pieces, conceding so many chances. And despite his protestations afterwards, Pep Guardiola displayed a hint of gnawing worry.
Asked if opponents are targeting his side in the air, he replied: “
They can do it. If they have Calvert-Lewin’s skills, Richarlison’s skills, they can do it. There are a few teams using it, we adapt it.
“I think when you win two Premier Leagues you face different styles, it’s not just all the same. We knew it. Up front Calvert-Lewin is one of best headers I’ve seen jumping and flicking the ball. Richarlison is strong, so we know it.”
