City led 5-1 at the 54th minute mark but conceded three times in 20 minutes but managed to see the game out for the win and in a post-game interview with Sky Sports, City manager, Pep Guardiola, was happy to get the win and keep the pressure on league leaders Arsenal.
“We won 5-4. The game was exceptional until 5-2. Sometimes it can happen because the opponents also play.”
“We have to push the people up front-Arsenal. You can’t control 90 minutes always in football and step by step we will improve.”
“Congratulations to him- Erling Haaland. So happy that he delivered 100 goals and that we could give him the victory” Guardiola said.
