“Winning 15 games in a row gives us a lot of confidence.
“If people are happy watching us that is the best gift."
Meanwhile, Guardiola’s counterpart Paul Clement, admitted it was tough viewing, although hailed City as one of the best sides he’s ever come across.
David Silva scored a double in the win
He said: “For me, one of the best sides I've ever come across.
“So many good athletes, so many intelligent footballers and it's really hard to pin them down.
“We actually had some attempts on their goal so I'm disapointed we didn't get on the score sheet but they were a far superior side to us.”
City are 11 points clear of closest challengers United, who beat Bournemouth 1-0 at home tonight.
