With 14 straight victories and a 11-point gap at the top of the table, Manchester City have got a hell of a lot to celebrate right now.
Pep Guardiola's side are in irresistible form, and there are plenty of people who, quite rightly, are already installing them as the champions-elect before we're even halfway through the campaign.
City's record of 46 points from their 16 matches would have been enough to see them finish eighth in last season's FINAL table already, and so all of the plaudits that they are receiving are entirely deserved.

But after beating Manchester United , there were a few aspects of the post-match dressing room image that both Leroy Sane and Ilkay Gundogan posted on Sunday that provoked debate.
Look at it again...

You've probably got some questions in mind now, haven't you?
Maybe five of them?
Well so have we.
1. Who brings confetti to a football match?

Bit weird this, isn't it?
Obviously City *are* going to win the league this season, and possibly a few other things as well, but they haven't *actually* done it yet.
And while we don't want to come off all Graeme Souness, confetti in the dressing room does seem to be a little bit over the top from this bunch of very modern footballers, doesn't it?
2. How excited is Bernardo Silva?!

We can answer that one. Very excited.
The big money summer signing from Monaco might not have featured much this season, but by god he's going to enjoy that league title winners' medal he's going to pick up in May for his seven starts and two goals and an assist.
3. Why is Eliaquim Mangala looking over there?

French defender Mangala has made nine appearances for City this season, all of which have come to the soundtrack of people saying that they'd forgotten he still played for them.
He did manage a good solid 31 minutes at Old Trafford though, after which he was clearly so dazed that he forgot about the concept of cameras.
4. Is this what Danilo always does in photos?

There's always one, and it seems as though Danilo is the one at City.
The full-back - an unused substitute at Old Trafford - is pulling *that* face that someone was always pulling in the back of each one of your uni night out photos in the top left here, and obviously loving every minute of it.
5. And finally... is this what angered Jose Mourinho so much?
(Image: Twitter/@LeroySane19)
The many reports about the ugly bust-up which followed the game have all featured the rather amusing suggestion that Jose Mourinho was showered in water and milk as he entered the City dressing room . The mental image of which is, quite frankly, hilarious.
But could this have been the moment that those raucous City celebrations went a little over the top for the beaten United boss?
