What Pep Guardiola has said
“It [the game against Arsenal] was a good advert for the Premier League,” said Guardiola after the win. “They don’t allow you to go through the process, they’re so aggressive.
“They are good in the duels and one of the most competitive teams I ever faced in my career in terms of duels and one against one; long balls with Havertz and Rice, second balls — fantastic.
“When you beat them once, it’s difficult. But twice [in a short time], they are so competitive and aggressive in all departments. We had momentum, they had momentum, we had chances, they had chances.
“At the end in these type of games, it is little margins. I’ve been so demanding, but the reality is it’s just one game. They are top of the league with one goal difference [better]. We have to enjoy it, celebrate it, take the good things, but don’t lose the focus. The focus is in three days, we go to Burnley.”
