Bournemouth is the best team we have faced: Pep Guardiola

My target now is to be happy today, drink a little wine and tomorrow prepare the game and of course we are going to try to win our League Cup game.

City maintained their 100 per cent start to the Premier League by beating the Cherries 4-0 at the Etihad on Saturday afternoon, their eighth successive win in all competitions, an unprecedented feat for the club at the start of a season.

Arsenal legend Martin Keown is impressed with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, but warned he still wants more from his charges.

Kevin De Bruyne was the star of the match as he scored one goal and provided two assists. But we played serious again.

Arsenal on their part completely outclassed their hosts Hull City winning by a 4-1 margin in a game in which Arsene Wenger opted to start Nigerian worldwide, Alex Iwobi who gave a good account of himself. "The important thing is we won just a few days after a Champions League game", Guardiola said: "The Champions League is tough mentally".

"We won these five games in the Premier League and the people have very nice words but we know what happens in our world".

Goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Kelechi Iheanacho, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Guendogan, on his Premier League debut, wrapped up the points after another scintillating display from the title favourites who continue to lay down a marker to their rivals. City were slick in possession throughout but especially devastating on the counter-attack.

"He is one of the best players I have worked with".

Howe said, "Fair play to them".

For Bournemouth it was always likely to be a hard afternoon but Howe felt his side still should have done better and hopes lessons are learned. And against Bournemouth it was until now, the best team (we have faced) who created more problems when they had the ball - the other teams played long balls.

"I am so happy but I have to tell you I am going to lose games", he added.

"But they weren't enough". A chance for us to score and then five seconds later we've conceded. "We are disappointed with our overall performance".
