MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City set the Premier League record for most points, most goals and most wins in a single season by beating Brighton 3-1 on Wednesday. City moved onto 97 points, two more than Chelsea’s final total from the 2004-05 season, and 105 goals, two more than Chelsea’s previous record haul from the 2009-10 season. Pep Guardiola’s team also now has 31 wins, surpassing the previous record of 30 set by Chelsea last season. “We want 100 points and finish this almost-perfect season in the Premier League,” Guardiola said. City also won the League Cup this season, but was eliminated from the Champions League in the quarterfinals.
