Winning the League One title at a canter, Birmingham City's memorable campaign ended in historic fashion as they set a new record points total across England's top four tiers.

The record stands at 106 and was achieved by Reading on their path to Championship glory in 2005/06.

Chris Davies' outfit have now surpassed this total, recording a remarkable 111 points.

Leeds United and Burnley were both able to hit the 100-point mark with victories on the final day of the Championship season.

Burnley had chalked up a century in their last campaign in the second tier as the Clarets accumulated 101 points under Vincent Kompany to be crowned champions.

The Clarets have now joined Fulham and Plymouth Argyle as the only clubs to record more than one 100-point season.

Fulham achieved their first in 1998/99 with 101 points to win Division Two and the Cottagers amassed another three-figure total two seasons later as Jean Tigana's men equalled their record points tally to claim the Division One title.

Plymouth first added their name to the centurions list in 2002 as they chalked up 102 points to be crowned champions of Division Three and the Pilgrims reached 101 points in 2023 to topple Ipswich Town and Sheffield Wednesday in pursuit of the League One title.

Manchester City's class of 2017/18 remain the only team to achieve 100 points in the top-flight.
