Speaking after the match, Guardiola praised his side’s focus and determination to get the win. He said: “I’m very pleased with the performance. We were focused and determined to get the win and I think we deserved it. We created a lot of chances and were very solid defensively. It was a great team effort.”

We have to keep working hard and keep pushing for more wins.”
