Bournemouth 0-1 Manchester City: Pep Guardiola praises players as win closes gap at top

Pep Guardiola praised his Manchester City players as "supermen" as they kept up their chase for a fourth straight league title by beating Bournemouth.

City manager Guardiola praised his team for finding a way to win having played in midweek against Brentford.

"I adore my players - they are supermen," Guardiola told Sky Sports.

"They are so good. Where we come from, for many years, playing every three days - they [Bournemouth] had seven days to prepare for the game and we always have less.

"We demand too much of our players but they respond.
