Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has etched his name deeper into the annals of English football by surpassing Sir Alex Ferguson's long-standing benchmark with a 3-0 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace.

The win keeps City in the title chase, reinforcing their pursuit of Arsenal as they delivered a commanding display at Selhurst Park in London.

Record Breakdown

City under Guardiola have reached 150 wins with at least three goals in the Premier League, achieved across 358 league appearances.

This marks a new high for Guardiola, eclipsing the previous benchmark set by Ferguson with Manchester United, who needed 522 matches to reach the same milestone, while Arsene Wenger's Arsenal required 524.

The numbers emphasize Guardiola's consistency and the team’s enduring dominance in recent years, a run that keeps critics guessing and fans grinning.

City's record is so large that even the scoreboard needs sunglasses.
