For the second time this week, Guardiola's team grabbed a late winner. At the weekend, against Huddersfield, they had fallen behind for only 2 minutes, before equalizing. And as has been the theme this season, City have played like Champions in waiting.

City have fallen behind to a goal for a total of 70 minutes in the Premier League, as per the on-air commentator on Saturday.

But, it is the tenacity and perseverance of the team that has led to this magnificent run of victories. This was City's 12th consecutive victory, and apart than winning, the team is entertaining as well.

West Ham United are their next opponents and with City already notching up 40 points in just their first 14 games, they have been able to keep Manchester United at bay. With the Manchester derby coming up, Pep will hope that his team continue this stretch of form, and maybe, lay down a marker for the rest of the Premier League.
