David Moyes Celebrates 700 Premier League Games with Everton Victory

David Moyes celebrated his 700th Premier League game as a manager with a 1-0 victory for Everton over Brighton on Saturday. The milestone, achieved with a controversial first-half penalty from Iliman Ndiaye, moved Everton seven points clear of the relegation zone and marked a significant moment in Moyes’ career.

Moyes is only the third manager in Premier League history to reach this landmark, following Arsene Wenger (828 games) and Sir Alex Ferguson (810). Reflecting on his achievement, the 61-year-old expressed pride at managing in what he considers “the best league in the world.”

The win, which came on the back of a 3-2 triumph over Tottenham last week, was a memorable moment in Moyes’ second stint at Everton.

The match’s turning point came from a VAR decision that awarded Everton a penalty for a handball by Brighton’s Joel Veltman. Moyes backed the call, stating the defender had used his hand, while Brighton’s Fabian Hurzeler disagreed, suggesting VAR should not have intervened.

Moyes, the oldest manager in the Premier League, will continue to chase further milestones as he navigates Everton’s battle in the top flight.
