WHAT THEY SAID
Pep Guardiola was impressed by his team, telling reporters: "Against Brighton for 95 mins, controlling them is impossible. No team in the world can do that. I am surprised we did it for 55-60 minutes. They link with the strikers and we went man to man with Julian [Alvarez] and Erling [Haaland]."
He added: "I give credit to the team for victory."
