Man City boss Guardiola 'really pleased' with FA Cup progress

Manchester City thrashed Burnley 5-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Pep Guardiola's side won at a canter at the Etihad Stadium with Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne strikes, a Sergio Aguero penalty and a Kevin Long own goal.

"I am really pleased for the commitment," Guardiola stated. “Especially with all the games in our legs and minds.

“Of course, we have to improve a few things but we made good movements and I'm satisfied to be in the next round and the draw on Monday."

On City's record-breaking recent goal gluts, Guardiola added: “I think all the clubs – everyone – play to score goals.

“Everyone wants to win and that's why. We do it for the people but we have done it from the beginning, since we arrived here.

“Winning eight games in a row, this month has been good. I could say it's because we played against lower league sides but it's what we have to do.

“Everybody has played and we want to arrive in the last stages of the FA Cup and Champions League, and fight to the end in the Premier League and Carabao Cup. It's the only way I understand."
