City start up the 100 club as Dzeko strikes against Cardiff to put Pellegrini ton up
Manchester City have scored an incredible 100 goals in all competitions this season after Edin Dzeko broke the deadlock at the Etihad Stadium against Cardiff.
The Bosnian hitman's strike scuffed over the line before the visitors were able to clear, with the scoreboard immediately flashing up a '100 and counting' tribute.
The incredible milestone was reached by scoring five or more goals on no less than seven occasions, with Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham, Norwich, Wigan, CSKA Moscow and Blackburn all being put heavily to the sword.
Ton up: Edin Dzeko celebrates scoring Manchester City's 100th goal of the campaign against Cardiff
Scape it over: The 100th goal wasn't the prettiest of City's strikes this season, but they all count

The City faithful will have particuarly enjoyed notching up four over local rivals Manchester United in September on the way to the total.
With Pellegrini at the helm – and a multimillion pound attacking force on the pitch – City are scoring at a rate of three every game. In more meagre times, before Abu Dhabi investment, City supporters were treated to 0.9 goals per game.
Negredo has 21 goals, Aguero 20 and Dzeko 16.
