Manchester City continue to mount pressure on Liverpool as they beat Everton at Goodison Park
| ||||||
The Citizens triumphed over Everton with a 2-0 win on Wednesday with Aymeric Laporte and Gabriel Jesus scoring the first and second respectively – to go top of the Premier League for the first time since December 16.
The victory helped them climb to the top of the Premier League table as they await the outcome from Liverpool clash with Bournemouth at Anfield.
But Pep Guardiola is not convinced that his side can maintain the lead from hence to the title glory without been disrupted.
"I don't know how far we will get, maybe we will die in the road, but we are trying," Guardiola said after the match.
"We have played one more game than Liverpool, it’s good to be top but Liverpool has a game at Old Trafford.
"I don't think too much about that but four or five days ago we could have been seven points behind, it is a lesson to never give up.
"We have an incredible test on Sunday against Chelsea.
On their 2-0 win at Goodison Park the Spaniard added: "We had problems in the second half but it was a good game. In terms of consistency, we didn't concede one shot on target. To score in the last minute of the first half helped us a lot.
"We are not the tallest team in the world so we don't expect to score from set-pieces but Mikel Arteta works a lot on them. Many decisions could be better, but that is my job to analyse those.
"Jesus has scored nine goals in a short time and Sergio got three at the weekend, it is important to have two good strikers.
"I am so satisfied, we have a game every three days for three months."
