Pep Guardiola praises 'fantastic' Raheem Sterling after Manchester City forward inspires 'important' Carabao Cup victory over Burnley following Leicester drubbing

Pep Guardiola was pleased with Manchester City's response as they bounced back from their weekend hammering to brush off Burnley 3-0 in the Carabao Cup.

City slumped to a 5-2 loss at the hands of Leicester on Sunday - the first time a Guardiola side has conceded five goals in the Spaniard's glittering managerial career - but it was a different story at Turf Moor.

Guardiola named a strong side and saw them ease into the quarter-finals of a competition they are bidding to win for a fourth successive season with two goals from Raheem Sterling and another from Ferran Torres.
