His team couldn’t collect all three points from Sunday’s fixture at Anfield, but the Spanish manager is more than content with the result.

Pep Guardiola has applauded Manchester City for “playing with incredible personality” in their Premier League meeting with Liverpool at Anfield.

Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne were on target for Manchester City as they showed great fighting spirit in Sunday’s crunch clash to clinch a 2-2 draw against title contenders Liverpool.

The defending champions twice found themselves trailing but were quick to find the solution each time. Thanks to the hard-earned point, they rose above Manchester United and moved to third place in the league table.

β€œWe compete and play with incredible personality, I’m very pleased with the way we played, the result we cannot change,” Guardiola said (via the club’s official website).

β€œThe way we played in Stamford Bridge, Paris and here, shows we are a great team.

β€œWhen my team play the way three games – we cannot forget which team we played. Liverpool one of the best three teams in the world – you played with courage and personality like we have done – we played here at a good level.

β€œToday, we didn’t lose but the draw is good, we just need to continue. I pray the players come back from international break safe.”
