Arsenal's hopes dashed? Guardiola equals Ferguson in key Premier League stat
In the Premier League's Matchweek 33 clash between Manchester City and Arsenal, City boss Pep Guardiola matched a rare historic feat. The encounter ended with his side clinching a 2-1 victory.
The Spanish tactician has now won all four of his Premier League matches against teams that started the day at the top of the table, while his Manchester City began those games in second place. With this achievement, Guardiola has drawn level with the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson—the record-holder for the most wins by a manager in 'second vs first' matchups in Premier League history.
It's worth noting that the gap between the teams in the table is now just three points, with City still having a game in hand. Should Manchester City beat Burnley on April 22, they will move to the top of the Premier League standings.
