Pep Guardiola Reaction
“When Phil is in that level playing between the lines, in the pockets and his first touch, his turn and then after his generosity to run and fight [is exceptional].
“It’s going to help us a lot for him to score these types of goals. Just put the ball close to the posts. It’s like a pass to the net.
“Phil is fantastic.”
“We are fourth and we are better than we were last season by far,” the boss added.
“We have to try to close it. Many days until Bayer Leverkusen but next step.
“Huge respect because three days after we play so demanding a team in Bournemouth.
“They limit you physically and mentally. It was tough but we handled it really well.”
“We have special opponents in the Premier League; Arsenal look unbeatable in that at the moment.
“It’s important to be good now, but I want to see the team grow. Working hard to be better and better.
“When that happens, when you arrive in the last stages, you are there. When we lost at Villa, people forget Swansea, but we had to win there because when you lose you have to win as soon as possible.
“That helped us to win against Bournemouth and here. We did it and we have one more day to recover before Liverpool.”
“Huge compliment, huge respect for these players because we are in a good position, maybe with a win against Leverkusen and a few more we can be in the position to finish in the first eight.”
