Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has set a new Premier League record of managing 811 Premier League games.
The Arsenal manager equalled former a Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s record of managing 810 League games in the 3-2 win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Thursday.
And the French manager ensured he surpassed Ferguson's tally as Arsenal took on West Brom at The Hawthorns on New Year's Eve.
Wenger joined Arsenal in 1996 and admitted ahead of his record-equalling game that he could never have envisaged being in charge for over two decades.
"I would have said you're absolutely mad, absolutely no chance.

"I remember when I was 33, 34, I thought that to 60 is 25, 26 years and you'll never get there because every game is such a gamble.
"It's Russian roulette, every game. So you think, at some stage, the bullet will hit you. So that's absolutely unbelievable. You can never predict that."
Wenger added that football had not become that different a sport over his 21-year tenure in north London: "It has changed but, overall, it is more the decor that has changed.
"The core of the game is the same. That means the spirit, quality on the pitch and human beings putting their effort together to achieve something.
"What has changed is the society. We have gone to more individualism. More individual plan of careers, so that is more anxious for the players as well."

Despite breaking Ferguson’s Premier League record, Wenger has a long way to go in matching his one-time rivals' 2,155 games in all competitions.
Ferguson began his management career with East Stirlingshire in 1974 when Wenger was still a player with Alsatian side Mulhouse. The Scot won the European Cup Winners’ Cup with Aberdeen in 1983 before spending 26 years at Manchester United, retiring in 2013.
