ISTANBUL (AA) - David Moyes made history in Everton’s Saturday win at Brighton & Hove Albion, making him only the third person to manage 700 Premier League matches.

"It's incredible really. When you start out, I don't think you ever believe you will become a Premier League manager but to get 700 games behind me is a fair achievement, I am very pleased," Moyes said after the game.

"There's two great managers ahead of me in Arsene and Alex. I don't think I'll be making their numbers, that's for sure," he added.

Moyes became only the third manager in his class in English Premier League history, joining an elite group that includes former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger (828 matches) and legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson (810 games).

At 61, Moyes is the oldest manager in the Premier League this season.

Everton, who beat Brighton & Hove Albion at Falmer Stadium, are currently at 16th with 23 points.
