Chelsea 0 – 2 Manchester City
By the end of March, Manchester City had completed thirty rounds of the Premier League with an astonishing record: 28 wins, 1 losses, and 1 draw .
The numbers were staggering, surpassing the dominance of almost every title-winning side in English football history and drawing comparisons with Newcastle United's infamous 1995–96 campaign—when the Magpies held a ten-point lead over Manchester United before collapsing in the spring.
Yet unlike Newcastle, City showed no sign of faltering. Each matchday seemed to add another glittering page to the club's modern story. While they had not yet eclipsed Ajax's legendary run of consecutive league victories, nor the English records for away and home winning streaks, the feeling among both supporters and pundits was that it was only a matter of time.
