Pep Guardiola spoke to BBC Sport after Manchester City's victory against Wolves: "We are not used to winning games at the end, like Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool it many times happened. It is a good flavour for us.

"Of course I didn't understand it. Linesman, I don't know the reason why he did it. but Bernardo [Silva] isn't disturbing the position. It was difficult in the first moment. Today in modern football they starve the keeper. In the moment what happened [Jose] Sa had the perfect vision. The taker from Phil [Foden] and the header [by John Stones] were magnificent.

"With 11 [Wolves] players in the penalty spot literally it is so difficult. The way we have done many years, the teams have decided to play in that way [against us]. But we were patient. They had some transitions, they have pace up front and physicality in the middle, they are so strong. But we were patient. Still we are who we are and that is so nice.

"Of course we take a look [at the standings] but I have after 10 or 12 games in the Premier League you don't have to see the table, it is just the beginning. But of course it is nice to be winning, you are alive and in that position. Liverpool have to play but we are top at the moment and that feeling is really good. Continue with that, the commitment from the players is unbelievable and that is why it is a joy."
