Manchester City Sets New PASS Record In Epl

Manchester City passed Swansea City off the pitch on Sunday to set a new Premier League benchmark.

City completed an outstanding 943 passes during the match, with an accuracy of 92.3 percent.

It marks the first time since 2003-4 that a team have managed so many completed passes, and contributed to a dominant 83% share of possession which is also a new 14-year high as the visitors barely touched the ball over the 90 minutes.

The Etihad Stadium had a party atmosphere this weekend as the new champions took to the field for the first time since Manchester United's reverse to West Brom put the title in their hands.

And those celebrations apparently filtered down to their players, who enjoyed every minute of a vintage 5-0 victory over the Swans.
