Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is delighted with the attitude of his players.

After winning the Club World Cup, City returned to Premier League action last night at Everton and triumphed 3-1.

Guardiola enthused: "I was on the plane (from Saudi Arabia) listening to them.

"They didn't know, and they started talking about Everton three days ago! I thought 'Wow, this is my team'.

"When you win so much, there are downturns. And we have had a lot of problems this season. We have lost one of the last twelve or thirteen games. Deserved. But the rest we play better.

"I really like that they have that desire to try again. They don't talk about how good they are, they're just thinking 'What's next?'"
