Pep Guardiola has admitted he’s happy with Sunday’s 4-4 draw against Chelsea, and his side’s position on the Premier League table after their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal weeks ago.
The Blues fought to earn a vital point at home against the reigning Premier League champions, who had won all six of their previous meetings.
Cole Palmer netted a 95th minute penalty to earn Chelsea the draw after Rodri’s deflected goal from nine minutes earlier seemed to have sealed the points for Man City.
Speaking after the game, Guardiola told Sky Sports: “They [Chelsea] are so dangerous, they are a really, really good team.
“Liverpool could not win, Arsenal… they were much, much better than Arsenal and then Arsenal drew at the end.
“It’s Chelsea… they don’t go away and the people believe, so I’m not going to say what Chelsea have done to do what they are right now as a team. It’s getting better, the teams they play they play good. They have physicality, they have talent, they have speed, they have bench, they have a lot of things.
“So Chelsea have built what they have done and decided to do for the next few years to be there, they always have been. Important that we go into the international break top of the league, I couldn’t expect it after the Arsenal game when we lost.
“We’ve qualified for the Champions League [knockout stage] and we’re top of the league, where we come from, wow, that is really, really good.
“Now rest, hopefully they come back fit, the next games are really, really tough.”
