It was a record-breaking weekend in the world of sports for individuals and teams from the top European football leagues to the Super Bowl and the NBA actions.

The highlights of the weekend remain the historic 4-1 win of Manchester City over Liverpool and Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 31-9 win over Kansas City Chiefs as Tom Brady became the talk of the town once again by breaking his own all-time record.

Liverpool became the first side to lose three straight home league matches in the following campaign after winning the English top-flight.

Chelsea did so almost 65 years ago back in March 1956, according to OptaJoe.

Man City thrash Liverpool in Anfield with record-breaking victory.

To be ‘four-oned’ is to be forearmed – These were the writings on the scoreboard at Anfield when Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool slumped to a 4-1 thrashing on Sunday night to give Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with a game at hand.

Liverpool failed to heed to the warning of two previous consecutive home defeats to Burnley and Brighton respectively as league leaders, City came visiting.

What the win meant for City:

1. Manchester City have now equalled the all-time winning run by an English top-flight side across all competitions, winning each of their last 14 matches – the same number as Preston (ending in 1892) and Arsenal (ending in 1987).
2. Manchester City have won four of their last five league visits to the Premier League reigning champions (L1), beating Man Utd in 2011/12 and 2013/14 & Chelsea in 2015/16 and 2017/18.
3. City secures first-ever win at Anfield when Liverpool have been reigning top-flight champion after 15 attempts (W1 D4 L10).
4. Pep Guardiola finally gets a win at Anfield with Manchester City

Tom Brady makes it record-seventh Super Bowl LV crown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers might have defeated Kansas City Chiefs in the 2021 Super Bowl final but the spotlight is surely on their record-breaking quarterback star, Tom Brady.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores

Call him Ibra or The Big Swede, Zlatan Ibrahimovic gait and demeanour remains a threat to opposition goalkeepers and Crotone’s Alex Cordaz became the latest to get a fee of the 390year-old who netted a brace in AC Milan’s 4-0 win.

What Did Zlat DO?

• He scored the 500th and 501st club goal of his long and illustrious career in AC Milan’s Serie A clash with Crotone on Sunday.
• Ibrahimovic is just the third player in the 21st century to reach 500 club career goals, after Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

CR7 reaches another career milestone

There’s no separating Cristiano Ronaldo from records as the five-time Ballon d’Or winner shows no sign of stopping at the age of 36 has now scored 300 goals for club and country since turning 30.

The former Sporting CP, Manchester United and Real Madrid forward, a day after turning 36 years old, scored in Juventus’ 2-0 win over Roma to make it 23 goals in 24 appearances in all competitions this season.

Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors were defeated by Dallas Mavericks by 134-132 victory Saturday night.

Steph Curry bagged in 11 3-pointers en route to 57 points, but they weren’t enough in Golden State’s effort to complete a two-game sweep in Dallas. The Warriors won 147-116 on Thursday night.
