Manchester City brought up 100 top-flight goals in 2017 during their 4-0 demolition of Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium – becoming the first English side to reach three figures in a calendar year since 1982.
Sergio Aguero scored a goal in each half, with Raheem Sterling and substitute Danilo also on target for the runaway Premier League leaders, who extended their record winning streak to 17 matches.
Aguero s second in the 79th minute took City to their century and a landmark last reached by Liverpool 35 years ago.
The Reds reached 106 during those prolific 12 months and City are now on 101, with trips to Newcastle United and Crystal Palace to come before the turn of the year.

Dier has been ever-present for Tottenham in the Premier League this season, pinpointing his special coach Antonio Conte as the reason for his upturn in form.
Last season after Antonio Conte arrived that was some of the best football I ve played – and it has carried into this season, he added.
I m enjoying every minute of working with him. He s a special manager.
The 32 nations competing at the 2022 World Cup face an unprecedented situation, with the world s elite leagues pausing for a mid-season break to allow their stars to compete for glory in the Middle East.
It s a unique situation for us. In some ways it s quite nice. Maybe not for the coaches and managers it s not ideal [for them], Dier continued.
From a player s point of view, the q…
A September matchup with potential playoff implications is among the late games on the NFL betting board in Week 3, as the 1-1 Seattle Seahawks travel to face the Minnesota Vikings.
Despite a second half collapse at home in Week 2, Seattle will head to Minnesota as slight 2-point favorites against a Vikings team feeling hard done by at 0-2.
How will the latest installment in this simmering NFC rivalry play out? Keep reading for our free Seahawks vs. Vikings picks and predictions, with kickoff on September 26.

The Tennessee Titans not only begin their road to the Super Bowl in the AFC Divisional Round but are out to prove they’re a worthy No. 1 seed when they host the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.
The NFL betting odds have Tennessee as a 3.5-point favorite, with that spread bolstered by the expected return of Titans RB Derrick Henry. The Bengals, who topped the Las Vegas Raiders in the Wild Card Round, could be missing some key bodies on the defensive line – bad timing for this run-in with run-heavy Tennessee.
Here are our free NFL betting picks and predictions for Bengals at Titans on January 22.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be hosting the final game of Wild Card Weekend at Raymond James Stadium this Monday night, but the Dallas Cowboys boast the better record, and are deserving favorites on the road.
Part of the reason why the Cowboys went 12-5 in the regular season was another productive year from Ezekiel Elliott. I’m bullish on a trio of his NFL props in this spot, and feeling particularly good about one of those three wagers, which I’ll single out as my Best Bet.
Without further ado, here are my Ezekiel Elliott player prop picks for Monday night.
Also, be sure to check out Jason Logan’s full Cowboys vs. Buccaneers betting preview, as well as our best Monday Night Football prop picks.

Trevor Lawrence’s iron man streak could be in jeopardy. The Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback is expected to be a game-time decision this evening against the New Orleans Saints after injuring his left knee on Sunday. Lawrence has yet to miss a game in his three-year NFL career, but the uncertainty around his status has led oddsmakers to install Nola as a narrow 2-point favorite, despite the fact the Saints have lost three of their last four games. Veteran backup C.J. Beathard, who sports a 2-10 record as a starter, will get the call if Lawrence is unavailable.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game, did you know that you can also live stream Jaguars vs. Saints directly from legal sports …
The script is simple enough to follow. The Dallas Cowboys need to beat the Washington Commanders in Week 18 to win the NFC East and earn a home playoff game.
But as football bettors saw last week when Philadelphia fell to Arizona — gift-wrapping the division crown for the Cowboys — things don’t always go according to plan.
Toss in a double-digit spread set by the NFL odds, and Dallas backers have some hard decisions to make in the final week of the regular season.
I run down this sizable spread and Over/Under total and give my free NFL picks for the Cowboys vs. Commanders on Sunday, January 7.

This week’s Sunday Night Football matchup got a lot more interesting over the past 24 hours, with the Atlanta Falcons finally showing some fight before hosting the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3.
New-look Atlanta appeared to be a dud for six quarters of the 2024 season, but surged in the second half of Monday’s matchup with Philadelphia and stole a one-point win on the road, setting the stage for this SNF test.
My Chiefs vs. Falcons predictions size up the spread and Over/Under total, as well as the line movement for Sunday Night Football, with my early leans and NFL picks for September 22.
