Man City manager Guardiola: We're champions! Aguero has never been better

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says there'll be no letting up after victory over Chelsea.

A 46th minute goal from Bernardo Silva was enough to secure a deserved victory and moved City 18 points clear at the top of the table.

"What matters is that we are champions, that is what really matters," said Guardiola.

"I have never spoke with the players about records. We are going to try and play how we did today against Basel and Stoke, that is what I want to see from my team.

"At the end of the season we will see. Records are a consequence of what we have done. If you think about records you forget what you have to do. What you have to do is understand what you need to do to beat opponents."

Sergio Aguero's wait for a 200th City goal may go on another game, but Guardiola believes that the Argentine is in the best form of his tenure since taking the reins in July 2016.

"Since we were together here this is best Sergio I have seen," he said.

"Not just scoring goals, he doesn't lose the ball, he runs in behind, he's the first to apply pressure. I am so pleased. He didn't score today but he will score in the future. He did really well today."
