Watch Pep Guardiola's message from SJP press room after Howe ends two Man City records
Pep Guardiola issued a classy message to Newcastle following last night's Carabao Cup win, praising our second half performance and wishing us good luck for the rest of the competition.
It was the first time Eddie Howe has ever beaten the Spaniard and the first time Pep has lost in the third round of the league cup, highlighting what an impressive victory it was against last year's treble winners.
Speaking to the likes of Luke Edwards and Craig Hope from the St James' Park' press room, Guardiola felt his side played well but struggled with our increased intensity in the second half, praising the impact of Bruno Guimaraes, who came on at half-time, and the return of 'the important' Joelinton.
Pep described Newcastle as a 'top side' who are 'so strong' defensively, feeling 'everyone knows' how good we are now following Eddie Howe's arrival. Watch what he had to say in full below:
