Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed his satisfaction with the emphatic 4-0 victory away to Brighton.
“I give a lot of credit because I know the opponent we faced. Brighton has been struggling with many absences this season. Although they still play with courage and never give up, they will continue to do so,” Guardiola said. “But it’s a good result for us, very good. We scored four goals, that’s the key. We played as a team that if we didn’t have the ball, we would suffer. The players did very well. I said it before, what we’ve done in the past doesn’t mean we’ll do it in the future. There are still five games left, we know the differences are very narrow. We have to win each game. Each game, we are closer,” Guardiola added.
Asked if the title is now a two-horse race between Manchester City and Arsenal, Guardiola replied: “It’s not. What happened to Liverpool, two consecutive losses, can happen to Arsenal, it can happen to us. What’s important is that we’re still there. There are many games left to play.”
