Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with Jack Grealish's performance for their Carabao Cup win against Chelsea.

Grealish thrived in the City side without Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden, taking on more responsibility, but Guardiola knows he can achieve that whoever he plays alongside, but was most pleased with his change of approach on Wednesday.

"I want Jack to have the responsibility, to play with Kevin with Phil. Today the best step Jack has done, is when he gets the ball wider or more inside to attack the back line, the back four for Chelsea, always his intention was to pass the ball," he said.

"No, no, we spoke many times with him, the first intention is go to score a goal. He's not a real threat for the back four because he's going to pass the ball, but today his body language is 'I'm going to score a goal'. Then after, shoot or pass.

"Today was three or four times he did it and this is what we wanted. Today he didn't score but with the chances he will do it. He was exceptional again, Jack is playing really, really good."
