What have we just done for the first time since 1930?

On Saturday night, we toppled an 88-year club record for the most consecutive league games without a draw.

Our 2-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium made it 20 consecutive top-flight games without sharing the spoils, eclipsing the previous record of 19 registered under then-manager Percy Smith in 1930.

The current 20-game draw-less run began following our 1-1 tie with Brighton & Hove Albion on 17 April last season. We went on to pick up three wins over Watford, Leicester and Newcastle, as well as suffering a defeat against West Brom, in our final four games of the 2017/18 campaign.

That spell has continued into this season as we are yet to be involved in a stalemate in the Premier League, having earned 12 wins from our first 16 games, enduring defeat in the other four. The victory over the Foxes on Saturday was game number 20 without a draw, making it a new club record.

The previous record of 19 games started mid-way through the 1929/30 season. Following a goalless stalemate with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in February, 1930, we would go without a draw for the rest of that season (14 games).

Like our current run, the streak then continued into the next season, eventually ending following the first five games of 1930/31, as we drew 0-0 with Preston North End on 15 September, 1930.
