Pep Guardiola hailed Manchester City's 'outstanding' work to break down a stubborn Newcastle United side and win 3-1 on Saturday.
Newcastle offered very little from an attacking perspective for much of the match and only really threatened in the second period, when Jacob Murphy scored and Ederson nearly gifted them an equaliser.
But Sergio Aguero killed off Newcastle's chances in the 83rd minute when he completed his hat-trick, leaving Guardiola impressed with his team's patience against a packed defence, particularly given their 4-3 defeat to Liverpool last time out.
"We reacted really well after dropping two points versus Crystal Palace and Watford, and we did so [bounced back from defeat] again today," Guardiola told BT Sport.
