EVERTON manager David Moyes admits he is unlikely to eclipse the longevity of Premier League greats Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson following a landmark outing against Brighton.

Moyes became only the third man in the competition’s 33-season history to take charge of 700 games after leading the Toffees to Saturday’s 1-0 victory at the Falmer Stadium.

Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger holds the outright record, having overseen 828 matches between 1996 and 2018, while former Manchester United manager Ferguson retired on 810 in 2013.
