Fellow January signing Antoine Semenyo struck for the 2-0 win.
“Absolutely. They are set up players,” Guardiola said of the pair. “Last season it was young players (who we brought in) except Omar (Marmoush).
“Semenyo made an incredible impact at Bournemouth. Antoine came with incredible energy and strikers are about numbers.
“Since he arrived he has been unbelievable. (It was an) Incredible goal
“It looks easy but the control is perfect to pass the ball to the net. He made another chance with a pass from Marc and he hit the crossbar.
“Marc, I don’t need to tell you who he is. He knows everything. I remember it is similar to when Ruben arrived and he had incredible focus for every action.
“With the ball he has incredible composure. We didn’t train anything yet but I have the feeling in the middle we did a little better.
“He’s not come for six months; he’s come for many years. It was an opportunity for the price. He’s the perfect age and he’s the perfect signing for many, many years.
“He’s a guy you can rely on. I see it in two sessions. How he sees, how he moves, how he talks, how he reads the situations.”
