Pep Guardiola's Manchester City was defeated by Arsenal in the 24th round of the Premier League in London. The "Gunners" outplayed their opponent in every aspect and secured a deserved 5-1 victory.
Notably, the only goal for City was scored by Erling Haaland, marking his 250th career goal. The Norwegian striker achieved this feat in just 314 matches, surpassing football stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
According to the statistical portal Opta Joe, this season can be considered the most disappointing in Guardiola's career. Manchester City has conceded 4 or more goals for the fourth time this season, something that has never happened under the legendary Spanish coach before.
Also, in 958 matches coached by Guardiola, this is only the second time his teams have conceded 5 goals in one match. The first occurrence was on September 20, 2020, in a 2-5 loss against Leicester.
