Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with Oscar Bobb in victory over Sheffield United.

Rodri and Julian Alvarez were the goalscorers on the day, with Bobb involved for the Argentine's strike.

“The first half was a little flat, everything was flat. Second half we lifted, especially with Oscar," said Guardiola.

“He helped us to increase our rhythm and our movements to the byline.

“He's really good in small spaces like Phil [Foden], Bernardo [Silva], Rico [Lewis]."

On changing Jack Grealish for Bobb, the manager added: “I decided I needed a different speed. It was an incredible effort from Jack. The last two days have been really tough.

“His performance in Goodison Park, he was the best player on the pitch. It's not been easy for him.

“I was doubting a lot to start Oscar from the beginning - not in Jack's position but in another position.

“Oscar is an incredible runner, good finisher and assist in small spaces.

“He's so aggressive without the ball, he won two or three balls and after 2-0 they didn't press. We decided to do passes to avoid what happened in other games."
