An important win 👊📊

Mateo Kovacic: “It means a lot, first of all, because my wife is pregnant, so it was goals for the little one.”

They [Fulham] could've equalized in the last minutes but we have Ederson in goal.

As a midfielder, obviously I want to add goals but it's not the first thing I want to bring to the team. If I can add goals, to win a game, it makes it easier.

Rodri is the best player in the world. So it's difficult to replace him as an individual, so we have to replace him as a collective.”

Pep Guardiola: “It was intense, it was tight. Chances for Fulham, chances for Man City. We started really good, created chances, and after they shaped to five at the back, and when that happens, always it's a risk and difficult, and at the end we could manage it.

When Fulham defend with five in the back, nobody can defend [Mateo] Kovacic except the striker, who goes with Kovacic. And when this happens, less transitions. We used that weapon, and Kova did really, really well.

We don't have Rodri, we have him [Mateo Kovacic], [Ilkay] Gundo, Manu [Akanji] and John [Stones] in that position, Rico [Lewis]. We have to find alternatives, but of course the presence of Rodri is important in these games. But we played really good.”
