Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola praised his players’ character after victory over Nottingham Forest.
Two goals up at halftime, City played almost the entire second-half with ten men after Rodri’s red card.
Guardiola said: “Playing 10 against 11 for 44 minutes plus seven injury times minutes… it’s a lot of minutes (with 10 men) and they defended incredibly well,” Guardiola said.
“We conceded one chance on 95 minutes and there was an incredible save from Ederson but not a lot else against a team that won at Chelsea, created problems at Arsenal and Old Trafford, and with the the physicality they have and the bench they have I’m really satisfied.
“How many times we played with five at the back and three in the middle maybe we will learn but today we did it really well.”
