Man City boss Guardiola happy with energy for win at Fulham

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with the energy they showed for victory at Fulham.

Guardiola admits their free week helped their preparations.

After today's 4-0 win, the manager said: This week we had a long week. We were more fresh than we were at Nottingham Forest, there we were exhausted," he stated.

Forest were better than us, we were lucky. We came from Madrid and Chelsea.

We had a long week this week, three days off, two days training sessions.

Now we don't have time, just three days. But what we are playing for is not tired in our minds. The challenge is so big."
