Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola played down the manner of their 5-0 thumping of Arsenal.

Granit Xhaka saw red for a challenge on Joao Cancelo as Ilkay Gundogan, Ferran Torres (2), Gabriel Jesus and Rodri struck for City.

Afterwards, Guardiola insisted: "We scored a goal that we didn't deserve. We didn't play that good to score a goal.

"The first time we arrived in the Arsenal half we scored. We had problems in the fist 15-20 minutes in our build up. After 2-0 and sending off the game is completely different."

On what he wanted to see in the second half, Guardiola added: “Respect the opponent, be serious in our process and our job. We created chances, we scored two more, the most important thing is that we played with respect to the opponent and not do silly things with the ball. We are still in the process of improving. Like I said to the players after the game. It was nice winning today but we have to be better."
