It started at 7.21pm on Friday when Cole Palmer stroked home a lovely finish for Manchester City under-23s in their final game of the season at the Etihad. Just over 24 hours later, at 7.26pm at Elland Road on Saturday, Fernandinho's bullet finish capped off a fourth win for a City team in the space of a single day - with an incredible 31 goals scored in the process.
City's men took another big step towards the Premier League with their win at Leeds, while the U23s celebrated retaining their Premier League 2 in style the night before with a 7-0 drubbing of Everton. The under-18s, who were also crowned divisional champions this week, went even better and were 13-0 winners against Newcastle.
The two goals conceded by City Women in the WSL were the only goals against in the period, but they won't mind too much as they beat Birmingham 7-2 to go third in the table. It's a 31-2 aggregate scoreline across the four teams that highlights the dominance City have at all levels of the game these days. And they are on course to add more silverware to the cabinet by the end of the season.
