We're closer today."It's fair to say Guardiola was in a jovial mood after his side went top of the table for the first time since November.

"We spoke to the players about how incredible it is to be here again," said the Catalan. "What a privilege. After what we've done in previous seasons, we're still fighting for the Premier League.

"Nobody likes losing 5-1 but let's be realistic, they're way ahead of us. Our back four had one centre-back, one full-back and two wingers.""After we played Arsenal, I thought they were good. City today were good.
