Manchester City defeated Sheffield United by a minimal score. Pep Guardiola’s team celebrated their 12th victory in a row.
In the 21st round of the English Premier League, Manchester City hosted Sheffield United and defeated their opponent, thanks to the only goal scored by Gabriel Jesus.
After the victory over the outsider, the “Cityzens” won the 12th match in a row in all tournaments and so they set a record in the history of the club. City have never had a similar series of wins. Of those 12 games, Pep’s team has won eight in the Premier League and the rest in the domestic cup.
We would like to remind you that another achievement took place in the same match. In particular, Pep Guardiola won the 500th match of his coaching career. To do this, the Spanish specialist training teams needed to hold 673 meetings.
Guardiola has won 179 games for Barcelona, 124 for Bayern Munich and most of his victories with Manchester City. The “Cityzens” won 197 games under Pep.
After 21 rounds, Manchester City leads the Premier League standings with 44 points and is four points ahead of fellow city Manchester United. However, it must be said that “City” has played one less match, which gives Pep’s team a potential seven-point advantage.
