WATCH: Guardiola on title race after Man City beat Fulham to go top of Premier League | OneFootball

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said the Premier League is in his side’s hand after beating Fulham 4-0.

Goals from Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez and a brace from Josko Gvardiol puts City back on top of the Premier League with two games to go.

After returning to the summit, Guardiola was confident his side can continue their form and see it through until the very end:

“The great players enjoy playing with great pressure,” Guardiola said. “These players in the last few years have been able to do it and we are again in the latter stages.

“Our dream is as we said a few weeks ago when they [Arsenal] lost against Aston Villa was to arrive in the last games with it in our hands, to play West Ham at home with the destiny belonging to us.

“We did a really good job today. The first ten minutes we struggled because as always they defend really well.

“When Berni [Silva] and Kova [Kovacic] and Rodri make a long action with a lot of passes and calmed the game and then Josko managed to get the goal – could have signed the best winger on the planet. W

“We played really well and now we recover, go back to Manchester, then come back to London to play the final [against Spurs] the big final we have to try and retain our title.”

The Catalan could not hide his shock at Gvardiol’s uptake in goals after the Croatian’s surprise brace, but urged for his defensive work to further improve:

“Absolutely unexpected. He is unbelievable with both feet. Normally the left is difficult to find, he is more comfortable with his right.

“Big goal at Santiago Bernabeu, goal today with the right foot. Second half he was not at his best, lot a lot of balls, and as a defender you have to be tight.

“For him to add the goals he is it is more than welcome, but he has to be more tight. But he is 21 years old he will improve.”
