Pep Guardiola commended Chelsea for making Manchester City work hard to secure the maximum points in Saturday’s premier league clash.
City came from behind to win an entertaining encounter 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
N’Golo Kante had given the Blues the lead, but a deflected Kevin de Bruyne shot and a Riyad Mahrez gave the league champions victory.
City were beaten in the possession stakes though, something that rarely happens, with Lampard’s side enjoying 53% of the ball away from home.
This made Guardiola praise Lampard after the match. “They are so good, they are an incredible team.”
