Guardiola hits Premier League half-century as Man City boss

Pep Guardiola has reached 50 Premier League wins as Manchester City boss, with only Jose Mourinho having hit that landmark in fewer games.

The Catalan coach recorded a half-century against Everton on Saturday, in what was his 69th fixture at the helm.

Mourinho achieved the feat in 63 matches while in charge of Chelsea, so can claim to still have one over on an old adversary.

The 2017-18 campaign has, however, been all about the men from the blue half of Manchester.

A comfortable 3-1 victory over Everton has carried them ever close to title glory, with it possible that the crown could be wrapped up in their next league fixture – a derby date with Manchester United and Mourinho.
