The Brentford vs. Manchester City match concluded the 7th round of the English Premier League, and the Citizens returned from the away game with a crucial 1-0 victory. The only goal was scored by Norwegian goalscorer Erling Haaland in the 9th minute. The remaining time, the sides launched several sharp attacks, but the score remained unchanged.
According to the Opta Analytical Center, this result became a historic milestone for Pep Guardiola: he became the fastest coach to achieve 250 victories in Premier League history. 349 matches (50 draws, 49 losses) were enough for the Spanish manager to achieve this feat. Before this result, Sir Alex Ferguson, who managed Manchester United, needed 404 matches, while Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger needed 423.
When asked about the record after the match, Guardiola jokingly invited his colleagues to a party: "I invite all the coaches whose records I've set to a party. It is a great honor for me to sit at the same table with them. 250 wins in 10 seasons is certainly not a bad result. Honestly, I didn't know about it, but I was very pleased to hear it," said the City manager.
Later, he specifically mentioned Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger and expressed his desire to meet them at the same table. "This record is of great importance to me, because achieving such a result is not easy. I'm honored to stand alongside Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger. I'll invite them to a good party. Perhaps this meeting will take place in sunny places. No, we'd better stay in Manchester," said Pep Guardiola.
Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov from "City" watched the historic match from the sidelines due to his injury. The team will now continue preparations for the next round - every point in the championship race is valuable.
