The very best of luck to anyone trying to break this particular Premier League record in the future.

Pep Guardiola has become the fastest manager to achieve 150 wins in the competition and the speed at which the Manchester City boss has reached the landmark is truly remarkable.

It's taken just 204 matches for Guardiola to get there, a staggering win ratio of 73.5 per cent.

To put that into context, Jose Mourinho required 230 matches to reach 150 wins, Sir Alex Ferguson needed 247 and Arsene Wenger 258. Guardiola has blown these legendary managers out the water.

Of course it helps to have a team as talented as City's, with almost £1billion of spending in the transfer market along the way, but the sheer consistency of winning is still remarkable.

No 150 in the Premier League since Guardiola arrived in England in 2016 came on Wednesday night as goals from Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva guided City to a 2-1 win at Aston Villa.

Afterwards, speaking about the milestone, Guardiola said: 'It's a lot, we did it in a short time. What we have is achieved all together.

'It is a big compliment for the whole club, the chairman. There's more to come, we're going to fight and work and try to take good decisions and win more.'

That must sound ominous to this season's title rivals Chelsea and Liverpool, with City aiming to win a fourth Premier League
