However, any hopes of this record extending in this contest were quashed after Phil Foden's splendid opener for Manchester City in the 27th minute with a terrific low close-range finish, after the England attacker's superb first touch from Kevin De Bruyne's cross.

Mateo Kovačić drilled in City's second from the edge of the box three minutes later before Foden got his second of the evening just before halftime.

Jeremy Doku continued City's punishment of Ipswich not long into the second half with a deflected strike before Erling Haaland, on the back of signing a nine-and-a-half-year contract at City, joined the scoresheet by slotting the ball past keeper Christian Walton for the visitors' fifth goal.

Substititute James McaAtee's looping header rounded the scoring for the away side to clinch a massive win for City, before their crunch Champions League match against PSG in midweek.
