In Yaya Toure's final game as a City player, goals from
Danilo, Bernardo Silva and Fernandinho ensured Guardiola's team
surpassed the 95-point tally set by Chelsea under Jose Mourinho in
2004-05.
"Ninety-seven points, a lot of goals, a lot of wins, that is a consequence of the season we have done," Guardiola said.
"We want 100 points to finish this almost perfect season in the Premier League."
Another Chelsea record - this time from 2009-10, during Carlo Ancelotti's tenure as manager - went when Silva stroked home City's second which brought up 104 league goals for the season.
Fittingly, City's latest accomplishments came against opponents who they began this record-breaking campaign against, on a sun-kissed evening on the South Coast August 2017
On that occasion, Guardiola's side required help in the form of a Lewis Dunk own goal but City have required little assistance ever since and are threatening to add to a compendium of club and domestic records before the season is out.
The Premier League champions may yet conclude the campaign by becoming first team to reach 100 points in an English top-flight season if they win at Southampton on Sunday (15:00 BST)
