Pep Guardiola was delighted with Manchester City's attack in the 3-1 win over Bournemouth on Sunday.

Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling put the visitors ahead before Harry Wilson scored on the stroke of half-time.

The Cherries returned after the break buoyed by their breakthrough and pushed City all the way, until Aguero nabbed his second of the game on the 63rd minute mark.

Speaking after the match, Guardiola said: "It was a tough game as always here. Big compliments to the players.

"Bournemouth set up so deep. They are strong with long balls with [Joshua] King, [Callum] Wilson and [Philip] Billing, with set-pieces and [Steve] Cook's throw-ins into the box.

"They are stronger than us, but the quality of our forward players won us the game.

"Yeah, there's a lot [we need to change]. In our defensive box we have to be more solid. But it's 2 o'clock, a sunny day, the rhythm is low and we knew it would be difficult, but we solved it.

"I said congratulations [to the players].

"Sometimes it is more difficult to play today than Tottenham at home, with our fans, the rhythm, and you know Tottenham want to play, and here they set up waiting for the second balls to the long balls."
