Manchester City reaches 1000 goals landmark under Guardiola

Since hiring Pep Guardiola in the summer of 2016, Manchester City has amassed a total of 1000 goals in all competitions. In a Premier League game versus West Ham United, City achieved the milestone. The team led by Pep Guardiola trounced the Hammers 3-0.
Nathan Ake, a centre defender, headed in the first goal from just inside the near post. To make it 2-0, star scorer Erling Haaland chipped the ball over the West Ham custodian. To make the score 3-0, Phil Foden struck a perfect volley to put the ball in the goal. His goal assisted City in passing the 1,000-goal mark under Guardiola.
Guardiola has achieved the feat quicker than any other manager in the Premier League era, with those goals coming in just 404 fixtures at an average of 2.47 per match. That’s 150 fewer games than the previous record holder, Arsene Wenger, and betters the only other manager to hit the milestone, Sir Alex Ferguson, by 197.
An astonishing 40 different City players have also contributed to that tally against 71 different opponents. 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 so far since his arrival in 2016.
Manchester City 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. While the Spaniard was the manager of Barcelona, they accomplished two Champions League titles, three La Liga championships, two Copas del Rey, three Spanish Super Cups, two European Super Cups, and two World Club Cups.
