Bernardo Silva scored a hat-trick as Manchester City achieved the second-biggest Premier League victory in history with an 8-0 demolishing of Watford on Saturday.
City, coming back from their first league defeat since January at Norwich City, utterly destroyed Watford, becoming the first side to score five goals in the first 18 minutes of a Premier League game.
David Silva scored the first goal for City after a delightful pass from Kevin De Bruyne in the first minute before Sergio Aguero's 100th Premier League goal at the Etihad Stadium doubled the hosts' advantage from the penalty spot.
Riyad Mahrez shot a brilliant free-kick into the net in the 12th minute, with a Bernardo Silva header and a Nicolas Otamendi tap-in completing the 18-minute route.
Before completing his first hat-trick with a close-range finish to make it seven before De Bruyne blasted a superb eighth as City only one goal away from Manchester United's record 9-0 victory over Ipswich Town in 1995.
"We can lose the games [Norwich match] but the important thing is the approach and how we react," City manager Pep Guardiola said.
"What I like the most is normally when it's 5-0 at halftime the second half is not serious, it's boring, but we did the opposite and we were more aggressive and made a very good second half."
