“Manchester City’s 2-1 Victory over Fulham Praised by Pep Guardiola”

London –

Manchester City admitted that the match at Fulham headquarters was difficult. Pep Guardiola praised the persistence of the players.

Manchester City narrowly won 2-1 at Craven Cottage, Sunday (30/4/2023) evening WIB, in the Premier League continued. Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez’s penalty goals silenced the hosts, who had replied through Carlos Vinicius.

The defending champions appeared dominant, but the hosts appeared aggressive to quell them. Man City recorded nine chances on target, but the fact that the victory was obtained from the penalty spot and speculative kicks more or less showed that the game was not going easy.

The course of the match as predicted by Manchester City. Fulham provided tough resistance, plus the field conditions also presented its own challenges.

“I never had any doubts, the game was very tight until the end. We couldn’t expect anything else. We went through a lot of games, but we know after beating Arsenal, winning these kinds of games is very important,” Guardiola told BBC.

“The players behaved great. We responded very well. The momentum was there, we played well. But it wasn’t easy because they defended very well, very difficult in the box.”

“Marcos (Silva) prepared his team very well. The match couldn’t be so fast because the field was very dry. In general, this was a good performance, considering our opponents and our situation,” added the manager from Catalunya.
