Mourinho also reached a feat despite the Manchester Derby loss, while it was a forgettable round for Arsenal and Southampton.

Round 12 of the Premier League is done and dusted, with the Manchester Derby bringing down the curtain on the latest Matchweek in the Premier League. And what a final game it was, with the Citizens beating their rival 3-1 in a thrilling game.

The victory means Guardiola's men maintained their two-point lead at the top, with Liverpool beating Fulham 2-0 to keep the pressure on the defending champion. Chelsea lost ground due to their goalless draw with Everton, while Arsenal also slipped up in the top-four race due to their 1-1 draw at home to Wolves.

Here are the standout stats from round 12 in the English top-flight.

Aguero writes his name in history

Sergio Aguero scored a thunderous goal in the 3-1 win over Man United, taking the lead in the Golden Boot race. Additionally, he also wrote his name in history.

Kun now leads the Golden Boot race 

The Argentine became the all-time leading scorer in the Premier League Manchester derbies with that strike, going level with Rooney at eight goals.

Mourinho reaches a feat despite the loss

The Special One was defeated, but that did not stop him from reaching a lovely feat. The derby was his 300th game in the Premier League and despite the result, he is the manager with the most number of wins after 300 top-flight games. His win percentage isn't bad as well, as only Sir Alex Ferguson sits above him.

Sarri sets an English top-flight record

Chelsea did drop points in the 0-0 draw with Everton, but the result meant that Maurizio Sarri's unbeaten start to life in the Premier League stretched to 12 games. That is a new record in England, overtaking the record held by former Nottingham Forest boss Frank Clark.

Salah continues his excellent Anfield goalscoring form

In the Fulham triumph, Mohamed Salah got on the score sheet, breaking the deadlock for the host. That was his 34th goal in 36 games at Anfield for Liverpool. It was also the 19th Premier League opponent he has scored against out of the 21 he has faced, failing against only Man United and Swansea.

Arsenal continue to be slow starters

Arsenal went into the break in their draw with Wolves 1-0 down. This means they are the only team alongside Cardiff yet to be ahead at half-time this season. It was also the first time in the Premier League that they found themselves trailing against the newly-promoted side.

Charlie Austin had a reason to be angry

Remember Charlie Austin's rant after Southampton drew to Watford? The Englishman had a very good reason to be upset, as the result not only saw the Saints drop points, but it also stretched their winless run at home this season to a record six games.
