Week 5 EPL Review: Guardiola Equals Ancelotti Win Streak Record

A roundup of the Week 5 Premier League news including a record-breaking start for Pep Guardiola at Man City, three losses on the bounce for Jose Mourinho, and continued unbeaten starts for Everton and Spurs.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola equalled Carlo Ancelotti’s Premier League record of five wins our of five after his side thrashed Bournemouth 4-0.

During the post-match interviews, Guardiola then sent a flaming cannonball across the bows of the rest of the Premier League, especially Jose Mourinho, declaring that Bournemouth was the best team he had faced this season and that everyone else just played long balls.

Even with Sergio Aguero sitting out game two of a three-game ban, and John Stones sitting on the bench, City had far too many weapons of mass destruction for the Cherries. It was a game where Kevin de Bruyne once again showed that he is a world class midfielder, and Raheem Sterling continued to show growing maturity and confidence under the Spaniard’s wing.
