Raheem Sterling goal on Wednesday at Newcastle United earned them a 1-0 win as well as their !8th Successive Win
The victory extended their lead at the top of the table to 15 points and their record-breaking winning streak to 18 matches.
The only club in Europe's five biggest leagues to have had a longer winning run is Bayern Munich, who earned 19 consecutive victories under Guardiola in 2013-14.
“It’s okay. When you’re winning 18 games in a row, you have 10-15 minutes in that way but we are so happy.
“It’s not easy when Newcastle don’t want to play. They defend well and want to counter-attack and defend deep. It’s not easy." said Guardiola in a conference.

City hit the woodwork three times in total — twice from Sergio Aguero and once from Kevin De Bruyne. In rare Newcastle attacks, Rolando Aarons had a first-half chip cleared off the line and Dwight Gayle headed wide late on.
Now, Guardiola is just one win away from equaling the record of 19 league victories in a row that he set with Bayern Munich in 2013-14.
