The Story in 60 Seconds

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has made history by becoming the first manager in Premier League history to win his first seven games with a new club. City lead the table with 21 points after maintaining a perfect start to the domestic campaign. Maresca surpassed the previous record of six straight wins, which was jointly held by Carlo Ancelotti, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and former manager Pep Guardiola.

Following a 3-0 Community Shield defeat to Arsenal, City quickly found form despite a major summer squad revamp that saw the club break its transfer record twice. The team's only loss across all competitions this season came against Paris Saint-Germain. City will soon face AEK in the UEFA Champions League and Aston Villa in the Premier League before consecutive cup and league matches against Brighton.
