Man City boss Guardiola on derby win: This team is legendary

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with their 3-1 win against Manchester United.

United held the lead to halftime before City made their domination count with Phil Foden scoring twice on the day.

Guardiola said: "Not winning would not be good but we matched the result with the performance and it is really good.

"We started really well but after seven minutes and the first long ball we were not in the correct line. We we were a little more anxious in the first half in the final third but yeah it was a really good game.

"They are a team built for the transitions and they can kill you in them. That is why you have to not lose that. If we attack not in a good position they can make good transitions and score a second goal and make it more difficult."

He also said: "It is about us. We can't control what Liverpool or Arsenal, Aston Villa or other contenders do, it is about us. We do what we have to do to win today, next Wednesday and Sunday. This team is legendary.

"Will we do it? I don't know. We have today more points at this stage than last season. The difference is Liverpool have I don't know how many more points than this stage last season. When the opponent is behaving like this, what can I say, congratulations so far. We will continue to try game by game."
