Pep Guardiola leaves Sir Alex Ferguson far behind

Pep has the best statistics in Premier League history.

According to Opta , Pep Guardiola only needed 349 games to achieve this achievement. The Man City manager is far ahead of Sir Alex Ferguson, who needed 404 games. Arsene Wenger is in third place with 423 games. David Moyes is in fourth place with 643 games.

The resounding victory in the Manchester derby helped Man City regain their confidence, thereby rising strongly with 3 wins in the last 4 rounds. Combined with the occasional fall of Liverpool and Arsenal, "The Cityzens" are now only 3 points behind the top spot.

The impressive run of form for the Etihad Stadium team is largely due to Erling Haaland. The striker born in 2000 has scored in 7 consecutive matches in all competitions and has reached 18 goals in the 2-month-old season. In the Premier League alone, the former Dortmund player is leading the race for the Golden Boot with 8 goals, 2 more than the next person, Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth.

Including international matches, Haaland has scored in nine consecutive appearances. This is the longest scoring streak of the 25-year-old's career.

After the international break, Pep Guardiola's team will return to the Premier League to face Everton, the club that just ended Crystal Palace's unbeaten streak.
