Guardiola said: “It was very competitive but in the end the team won and are now top of the table with one more round. I would rather be top than lose the chance to be top but that is not the point, look what happened today, Aston Villa dropped points at home against Bournemouth and Brighton dropped points at home against Wolves because the Premier League is so difficult and we won against Wolves for 94, 95 minutes.”
He further analysed: “Today we created chances, we could have scored two or three goals, the expected number was much higher. But I have to admit it was a tough game for us, it was a very tough game for us.”
