For the first time in his career, coach Pep Guardiola received a 4-4 draw. Meanwhile, Erling Haaland continued to set an impressive record.

This is a special result for coach Pep Guardiola. According to statistics from Opta , for the first time in 882 matches in charge, the Spanish coach has witnessed his team draw 4-4 with their opponent. It is very rare for a team of coach Pep Guardiola to concede so many goals in a match.

In the past, teams led by the Spanish coach always played solidly and controlled the game well. The fact that Chelsea conceded 4 goals shows that Man City's defense has problems. This is something coach Pep Guardiola needs to pay attention to in the upcoming journey.

Speaking after the match, coach Pep Guardiola did not blame the Man City players. Instead, he praised Chelsea. He told Sky Sports : "They are a really good team. There is no doubt about it.

Liverpool couldn't beat Chelsea. Arsenal were completely outplayed and were lucky to get a draw. You know, they're Chelsea and they never give up.

I always think about what we can do to improve the team. It was impossible for us to win 7-0 at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are rebuilding the team and improving every day. I have no complaints about the result."

Meanwhile, Erling Haaland continued to set a memorable milestone after scoring a brace against Chelsea. Statistics from Opta show that since moving to Dortmund in 2020, the Norwegian striker has become the player with the most matches scoring two or more goals in the top 5 European national championships (England, Italy, Spain, Germany, France).

Specifically, Haaland has scored two or more goals in 36 matches. He is 6 matches more than the second-ranked Lewandowski.

If counting the Premier League alone, Haaland has scored 49 goals after 47 matches. The striker born in 2000 is approaching a big milestone, which is becoming the fastest player to reach 50 goals in the history of the tournament.

In Premier League history, former striker Andy Cole holds the record, needing 65 games to reach 50 goals. Haaland is just one goal away from that milestone. He could make history in his next match against Liverpool.

Despite being held to a draw by Chelsea, Man City still tops the Premier League table with 28 points, one point ahead of Liverpool, Arsenal and two points ahead of Tottenham. Man City will face Liverpool at 7:30 p.m. on November 25.
