Pep Guardiola stood motionless on the sideline and stared out into the field, as if he did not quite understand what was happening on the pitch. Namely: the most unilateral initial phase of Premier League history.
5 - Manchester City's five goals after just 18 minutes is the fastest no side has ever gone 5-0 ahead in a @ premier league match in the competition's history. Ridiculous.
- OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) September 21, 2019Guardiola's team Manchester City had scored five goals in the first 17 minutes of the game against Watford. This has never been achieved in the history of competition. The goal sequence looked like this:
1-0, David Silva, 1st minute
2: 0, Sergio Agüero per penalty, 7th minute
3: 0, Ryad Mahrez, 12th minute
4: 0, Bernardo Silva, 15th minute
5: 0, Nicolás Otamendi, 18th minute.
Bernardo Silva (49./60.) And Kevin de Bruyne made the final score. The Premier League record of Manchester United (9-0 against Ipswich Town, 1995) was missing a goal. City missed several chances for further hits, the shot-on ratio was 28: 5.

Stunned: After the 7: 0 Bernardo Silva grabbed the head
City (13 points) is second behind leaders Liverpool (15) and the Reds arrive at Chelsea on Sunday (17:30). Last weekend, City lost sensationally against promoted Norwich City.
For Watford a defeat against the defending champion is no surprise, on a better result, the team should have hoped. It was not until the last matchday that the team had changed their coach (Quique Sánchez Flores for Javi Gracia) and narrowly missed a victory against Arsenal.
Already in May, City had set a record against Watford in a game. In the FA Cup final last season, the team won 6-0 - never won the final of the competition higher. Bury had previously beaten Bury against Derby County in 1903.
Leicester City -Tottenham Hotspur 2: 1 (0: 1)
For a long time it looked like an away win, which had been due to a dream goal. Tottenham's Son Heung-Min led the ball with a hoe in the run of Harry Kane, who caused by a check of former Freiburg Caglar Söyüncü out of step. Kane stumbled, fell - and still managed to get out. He hit the ball so well in the fall that he flew past keeper Kasper Schmeichel in the gate (29).
Serge Aurier seemed to have made it 2-0 to the Spurs later, but his goal was undone after minutes of intervention by the video referee. Ricardo Pereira equalized (69 ') for the second half, with Jamess Maddison securing Leicester's victory (85'). Leicester is third, Tottenham fifth.
