What did Pep Guardiola say about his team's victory today?

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola commented on the 2-1 win over Leyton Orient.

- We played a very good game, it was a typical FA Cup game - that's why this competition is amazing. We knew they were strong and they moved a lot along the lines. They are a very good team and have great management, but we also created a lot of chances. I'm happy that we have reached the next round.

- Did your team struggle in the first half?
- I don't think so. The first 10-15 minutes were probably like that, but after the great goal from the opposition we took the game into our own hands and created a lot of chances.

- Do you regret having to bring Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne on?
- No, that's what they came here for. We take this competition very seriously and we thought it was the right decision. I was happy with Kevin's goal, his move was very good.

- What did you talk about with Phil Foden after the game?
- No, I can't say.

- About Nico Gonzalez's injury.
- Welcome to the Premier League and the world of referees. Maybe he knows about referees, because I understand it's not easy. It's not easy to do something when you play against teams in the league.
