'Sometimes we are not good enough and that is life': Pep Guardiola plays down criticism as he hails Manchester City response in champions League win over Marseille

Pep Guardiola hailed they way his Manchester City players brushed aside recent criticism to ease to a 3-0 Champions League win at Marseille.

Ferran Torres, Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling were all on target in a one-sided contest at the Stade Velodrome that put City three points clear in Group C.

After just two games, Guardiola's side are already looking strong favourites to claim a place in the knockout stages.

It was a good response to Saturday's draw at West Ham, which was the third time they have dropped points in five Premier League games this season.
