City could have had another but Gabriel Jesus missed a penalty with the score at 2-0.
“It was solid, good, against one team demanding to be intense without the ball,” Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola told BT Sport.
“They have good quality, but we played really good to beat one of the strongest teams in the Premier League.

“Without the ball we are a humble team. The performance of Kevin de Bruyne, you cannot imagine how good he plays with the ball, but he runs like a player in the Conference league – it is easier for the manager and the club.”
On Manchester City’s record winning run: “Since August we are so happy and I admire the most the way we play without the ball – thank you to the club to provide me with these amazing players.
“We are on a good streak, but in three days we have another one.”
