Enzo Maresca has become the fourth manager in Premier League history to win his first six games in charge of a new club. The feat was previously achieved by Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea, Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and Ole Gunnar Solskjær at Manchester United.
The Manchester City manager reached the milestone with victory over Liverpool in the sixth round of the Premier League. City crushed their rivals 3-0 at Anfield, with goals from Erling Haaland, Jérémy Doku and Rayan Cherki. All three came in the second half, after Ryan Gravenberch was sent off for the hosts.
