Pep Guardiola reached 250 premier league wins as Manchester City secured a 1-0 away victory over Brentford on Sunday evening.
Softfootball can report that Guardiola became the fastest manager to reach that number of wins in premier league history thanks to a ninth minute goal from Erling Haaland which was also his ninth goal of the season.
Manchester City hammered Burnley 5-1 last weekend and followed it up with this result that pushed Guardiola into the history books and the win and record was duly celebrated by the club’s official X handle after the encounter.

Haaland continued his good form this season as he outmuscled Brentford defender Sepp van den Berg to connect a pass from Croatian center back Josko Gvardiol, he steadied himself before precisely slotting past Caoimhin Kelleher. The goal was Haaland’s 18th in 11 games for club and country this season.
Man of the Match, Erling Haaland gave out his shirt to a fan after the game in a special moment caught on camera and shared by Manchester City’s official X handle.
A lot of love for @ErlingHaaland 🩵😅 pic.twitter.com/iKO3ym8nhz
