Manchester City have reached 1000 goals in all competitions under the guidance of Pep Guardiola following our 3-0 win over West Ham United.
Phil Foden scored the milestone goal with the third on the night against the Hammers, following efforts from Nathan Ake and Erling Haaland.
Guardiola has achieved the feat quicker than any other manager in the Premier League era, with those goals coming in just 404 fixtures and at an average of 2.47 per match.
That’s 150 fewer than previous record holder Arsene Wenger and betters the only other manager to hit the milestone in Sir Alex Ferguson by 197.
An astonishing 40 different City players have also contributed to that tally and against 71 different opponents.
We have hit triple figures in the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FA Cup, with a further 76 strikes coming in the Carabao Cup, Champions League qualifying matches and the Community Shield.
The Club’s record goalscorer, Sergio Aguero, tops the individual list with 124 strikes under Guardiola’s guidance, while Raheem Sterling (120), Gabriel Jesus (95), Kevin De Bruyne (79) and Riyad Mahrez (78) complete the top five.
It’s the latest milestone in what has been a remarkable period of success under the Catalan, with City lifting four Premier League titles, one FA Cup and four Carabao Cups since his arrival in 2016 so far.
Everyone at the Club would like to congratulate Pep and his backroom staff on yet another significant achievement.
