Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with his young players for their Carabao Cup win over Fulham.

Brahim Diaz struck twice for the 2-0 win.

"Everybody was good," the manager reflected. "Brahim made two goals, Aro (Muric) - even though we didn't concede too many chances - gave us good security.

"Phil (Foden), every time he plays at a good level. I wouldn't single people out in particular, we made an excellent performance again - without the ball we were aggressive, we played like the competition and every game deserves.

"With the ball we were clever and we created enough chances to score more goals. I'm so satisfied with the victory."

Guardiola also spoke about how difficult it is to leave players out of his squad when there is so much quality at his disposal.

"You cannot imagine," Guardiola declared. "There are no words to explain how tough it is.

"Maybe one side of my job so easy, it's a joy to train with these players, but at the same time so difficult."
