Man City start ANOTHER row with Opta as they claim Pep Guardiola really notched his 200th win in charge three weeks ago, not against West Ham - but stats gurus refuse to back down after a meeting and say wins on penalties don't count!

Daily Mail | March 1, 2021

Manchester City are at loggerheads with Opta over Pep Guardiola's 200th win in charge of the club.

The statistics giant claim that the weekend's 2-1 victory over West Ham was the game in which the manager reached his double century.

But City argue that it was achieved three weeks ago in the FA Cup fifth-round win over Swansea, disputing Opta's judgement, according to the Athletic.

City are on an incredible run but there is a bone of contention about the numbers from Opta

The difference in judgement stems from the fact that Opta refuse to count victories on penalties to the official tally.
