Arsenal’s dreams crushed as Guardiola ties Ferguson in crucial Premier League record

In the recent Premier League Matchweek 33 showdown, Manchester City faced Arsenal, with City emerging victorious at 2-1. This match marked a significant milestone for City manager Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola has now won all four of his Premier League matches against teams that were leading the table, while his squad began those games in second place. This feat puts him in the same league as the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, who holds the record for the most wins in ‘second vs first’ matchups in Premier League history.

Currently, the gap between Manchester City and Arsenal in the standings is just three points. City still has a game in hand, and if they secure a win against Burnley on April 22, they will take the lead in the Premier League.
