The match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur was Fernandinho's 300th Man City appearance. The midfielder started at CB, a position that Guardiola has been using him in recently.
He breaks this record not long after renewing his contract until 2021. Not long ago, it looked like he was leaving the club at the end of the season, but with his new deal, it seems that the rumours have been dispelled.
During his spell in Manchester, he has scored 23 goals and got 19 assists and has become a key player for the squad. He hasn't played less than 41 matches a season- without counting this one, that is only halfway- since he signed from Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Brazilian, who is 34, is an undisputable starter this season for his manager. It is hoped that his contract renewal will help him continue his upward trend in the Premier League and that the record will motivate him even more.
