Lore & Background
The run began with a victory over Bournemouth on 26 August 2017 and ended with a 1–0 win against Newcastle United on 27 December 2017. During the streak, City scored 56 goals. The previous Premier League record for consecutive wins was 13, held by Arsenal (2002) and later Chelsea (from October to December 2016). The run did not include victories over all 'Big Six' rivals; for example, they did not face Arsenal during the streak.
In Their Own Story
The rain lashed against the floodlights at Old Trafford, but inside the tunnel, the silence was absolute. It was late November, and the number on the board behind them had climbed to sixteen. A veteran midfielder adjusted his armband, glancing around at the faces of his teammates. He saw no fear—only a cold, collective focus that understood they were not chasing history, but building it.
