DBasia.news – The half-dozen goals party was successfully done by Premier League defending champion, Manchester City when they won 6-1 against Southampton on the 11th-week of Premier League. However, Pep Guardiola isn’t satisfied yet due to one thing that might be overlooked by other coaches.

The Citizens’ six goals came from Wesley Hoedt (own goal), Sergio Aguero, David Silva, two goals from Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane, but followed by the penalty kick from Danny Ings at 30′. This goal made the perfectionist Guardiola upset. Moreover, that’s the first goal for City in 7 recent matches.

“We did some very good things, the first 20 minutes was excellent and offensively we were very good, but we conceded a lot. The game gave me a good feeling, but at the same time, we didn’t defend well, although with 6-1 I am so satisfied,” Guardiola told Sky Sports.

“We were lucky to score the fourth goal in the final minute of the first half because otherwise, it would have been complicated after half-time. As a team, he (Mark Hughes) demanded a lot, and today we were very clinical, especially at the start, and we had the feeling we would create a lot of chances.”

Leading the standing doesn’t necessarily make Guardiola happy because the competition to achieve the Premier League title is wide open. Man City only have two points away from two teams below them, Chelsea and Liverpool.

It’s not decisive to be top, it’s better to be there than be below but the distance between the teams is two, three or four points, it’s nothing,” he said. “All three (Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea) are incredible, with Arsenal we have seen yesterday how good they were against Liverpool,” Guardiola added.

“Tottenham, despite having a lot of problems, are still winning games and we know how difficult it is to win at Wolves, and United are always there. It will be a really tough league, but it’s important we are stable like last season,” he concluded.
