De Bruyne himself has 11, as does Gabriel Jesus, who opened the scoring against Steve Bruce’s side. City’s top two scorers in the league are Raheem Sterling with 13 and Sergio Aguero on 16.

City are the first team to have at least five players reach 10-goal mark since Everton in 1984-85.

Those goals from Jesus and Mahrez took Pep Guardiola’s side 83 in the league this season, nine more than the newly crowned champions Liverpool.

Despite breaking new ground in goalscoring, City found themselves 23 points behind Liverpool with five matches remaining after going down 1-0 at Southampton on Sunday, their ninth defeat of the season.

As well as being among the goals for the hosts, David Silva took his assist tally into double figures when he set up Jesus and Sterling for their strikes against the Magpies.

The Spain international has now made at least 10 assists in each of his 10 seasons with City, registering 121 in all competitions. He has now been involved in 150 Premier League goals, having made 91 assists and chipped in with 59 goals of his own in his 306 appearances.

No midfielder has been involved in more Premier League goals since Silva’s arrival, with ex-Tottenham star Christian Eriksen the second most productive in that timeframe having contributed to 113 goals before his move to Inter.

City’s dominance against Steve Bruce’s team was further evident in their passing statistics, as they recorded a rare pass completion rate of 93.7%, having made 787 successful passes out of 840. That is the highest rate recorded in the English top-flight since Opta’s record began in 2003-04.
