Guardiola makes history as Man City beat Arsenal 2-1 in EPL clash

Manchester City defeated Arsenal 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, April 20, 2026, with Erling Haaland scoring the second-half winner. The win gives Pep Guardiola a historic milestone: he has now won all four of his Premier League games against the league leaders while managing City, matching the record held by Sir Alex Ferguson for most wins by a manager when his team was second and facing the top side.

With the result, City sit three points behind Arsenal on the table but have a game in hand, keeping the title race tight. Guardiola’s side will travel to face Burnley in their next Premier League fixture on Wednesday.

For Nigerian football fans, the result highlights how closely the EPL title contest is shaping up and shows City’s resilience under Guardiola. Whether you support the Citizens or the Gunners, this match adds another chapter to one of England’s fiercest rivalries and could influence the final standings as the season approaches its climax.
