Pep pips Wenger to record

PEP GUARDIOLA wrote another piece of Premier League history - and then set his sights on the title.

The Manchester City boss reached 250 Premier League wins in 349 games yesterday.

That is faster than any other manager, as it took Arsene Wenger 423. Sir Alex Ferguson took 404 games, before the Premier League era.

The win also pushed City up to fifth in the table and Guardiola suggested that they will be back among the title contenders again after finishing last season empty-handed.

Guardiola said: "We won a lot! Otherwise you cannot take this accolade without winning a lot of games. It's an honour for me to be alongside Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger so I will invite them to a good dinner.
