Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola offered praise for his team yesterday.

The Citizens head coach admitted his players have been “more than decent" lately.

City had won 11 matches in a row, before they were held to a 1-1 draw by Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.

“We played to win the game," he said post-game.

“Always we can accept we don't be in top level for 90 minutes but since the moment they scored and in the last 10 minutes of the first half and second half we were in our best level.

“I know the standards we have created because of what we have done in the past. I understand.

“What I am seeing I am more than satisfied.

“I give credit to Chelsea but in general we were more than decent.

“I know our standards. You demand the standards of the past. For 11 months of the season, it's not easy but we are there.

“We drew a game against Chelsea and now we have to do it. We won 11 in a row and people said we weren't going to lose again."
