Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with Fernandinho's performance for victory at Wolves on Monday night.

New Club captain Fernandinho put in an outstanding display at Molineux, where his dynamism in midfield was the catalyst for many of City's best moments.

He played alongside Rodri in front of the back four, a pairing that offered solidity against difficult opponents.

Guardiola was impressed and believes their partnership was a big factor in us becoming the first side to win 10 opening-day Premier League fixtures in succession.

"Fernandinho cannot play every three days," he said.

"Last year he struggled a lot to be fit most of the time in the season, but he played really well with Rodri.

"It's difficult to play against Wolves - they have pout together a great team and we suffered two defeats against them last season.

"That's why it's an incredible victory for us in this situation.

"There's 111 points left to play for in the Premier League - but it's a good start!"
