Manchester City has claimed their 100th goal of the season in their 4-2 victory over Cardiff City in the Premier League on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium.
The result lifted Manuel Pellegrini's record-chasing side up to second place in the league table, a point behind leaders Arsenal, taking their tally for the season to an impressive 42 goals in 11 home games.
