City manager Pep Guardiola was clearly very happy at full time and reserved some praise for the visitors when he spoke to Sky Sports afterwards.
💬 “We played really, really good. The threat in behind was always there, we were so coordinated with our pressing and we were so clever with the ball. And, again, Erling was decisive.
“We knew about Bournemouth, they destroyed us in the Premier League last season. We couldn’t handle it. It’s always tight against them, they’re so intense and aggressive.
“Today is only the second game that they’ve lost — we’ve lost more games than them. They’re such a good team.”
