Guardiola praises Nico O'Reilly's outstanding performance

In addition, Manchester City coach Guardiola said in an interview, "This is an important victory and we must face it very smartly. There are only five or six games left in the league. It is very important to get all three points at Goodison Park, especially considering that Arsenal have not won here before. We beat Nottingham Forest and Everton away, which is a very important result."

"It's all in our hands now, we have Aston Villa at home, that's a final, then we have two games to go and hopefully we can get into the Champions League."

In addition, when talking about Nico O'Reilly who scored for Manchester City, Guardiola said, "He was originally an attacking midfielder, but he can always appear in the right position when playing as a left back. Look at his performance in Plymouth and Bournemouth, he always appears in that position. We are really grateful, after all, he is not a left back, and Everton players are tall and strong. If you stop the ball well and are tall, then you have a chance."

"Everton had a strong 10 minutes in the second half, hitting the post once and having a crucial save by Stefan Ortega. But we fought hard and finally got the chance to score.
