Manchester City booked their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup, after Riyad Mahrez’s brace helped the premier league leaders ahead of Fulham, the top-flight championship side.

Pep Guardiola was in high spirits after the victory, which put the Citizens in the fifth round for a seventh consecutive year.

Here are the main quotes from Pep’s post-match press conference.

On a difficult afternoon

“I’ll tell you something: I know exactly which team we faced today and which team we beat. When a team is at the top of the Championship, it’s because they are good. Top side. Marco ( Silva) has created an incredible team top side.

“We talked a lot with the players about the difficulty. You have to fight, run, defend well. It’s a team that monopolizes the ball. The pressing in the first half was not good, it’s My fault. We were expecting a move it didn’t work out well.

“The second half was much better and of course the quality of our players made the difference.”

“Liam grew a lot last season, especially with Enzo Maresca. He helped him develop a lot. He’s a type of striker that we don’t have. He’s a killer, a typical British striker, an amazing finisher.

“As a player, he has a special quality. He understands how to attract opponents and then pass the ball to free men. Always near the box, you can feel he has the feeling of scoring a goal. Last year , we struggled with penalties and now he is a guarantee.

“The only problem we’ve had this season is that he’s been injured. Injury after injury because of ankle problems. He’s a special quality, a different type of striker. He has that quality and I’m happy for him.”

On Riyad Mahrez’s penalties

“He scores every penalty, especially under pressure. A 4-0 penalty is easy, but last season at Dortmund he scored when we were down 1-0. This season, 1-0 against Arsenal, he has scored. He has the personality to do it.”
