Manchester City are showing Pep Guardiola more fight than during their historic Treble campaign as the Premier League title race hots up.
Guardiola watched as Ederson sprung to the defence of Rico Lewis during the 3-1 victory over Burnley, barging Connor Roberts away from the young full back in a late skirmish.
The incident came just over a year since the City manager harangued his players for failing to protect Lewis in a match against Tottenham, when the teenager was targeted with heavy treatment.
But Guardiola believes he is seeing more togetherness as City go in search of an unprecedented fourth consecutive league crown.
