Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was delighted with his team after Tuesday's 7-0 win over Leeds United.
The Sky Blues delivered an attacking masterclass to obliterate Leeds at Etihad Stadium.
"Congratulations to the team, it was a good performance for us," Guardiola said.
"We did a good performance, the vibes of the stadium was nice today - it was sold out and the supporters were incredible.
"We started in a good rhythm and our central defenders made good build-up. We were patient with the ball and the quality of the players did the rest.
"We lost five points last season when we played Leeds.
"We tried to prepare well for the game. The players, maybe they felt, that it is a more serious team that people think. I know exactly which manager conducts this team. The pride they have every since game, with every single ball. We saw the game against Chelsea, they deserved to take at least one point. The way they fought, maybe they were a little tired as they played just two days ago.
"That is why I give credit for the victory because I am pretty sure that every opponent knows what it is to play Leeds. Now we rest and prepare for Newcastle on Sunday.
"When you get these results it's because individually they [the players] are brilliant."
