“Congratulations to Liverpool, they scored three, we got one but I’m so proud of my team, few teams can come here and play the way that we did,” Guardiola said after the game.

“It’s not easy after being two goals down to react the way we reacted. It was one of the best performances I have ever seen from my team. That’s what we needed and hopefully we can continue to make the steps we need.”

Liverpool travel to Crystal Palace next on November 23, while City are at home to Chelsea on same day.
