Guardiola: We were lucky, and I don't know this

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola appeared in press statements after beating Chelsea 3-1 in round 23 of the Premier League.

The coach said: "My start was not good in the match, fortunately, they did not punish us with two clean goals, after we recovered emotionally and performed well," the coach said.

He added: "We acquired the ball more than the last matches. It was really important."

On the newcomer, Abdul Qadir Joseanov: "He does not speak English so I didn't talk to him. He will be fine. He participated in a session or two training only.

"The players were united, that was very important. Any player could make a mistake (Joseanov in the Chelsea goal shot), fans always support new players. He is very small, he will learn," he added.

He stressed: "Now we are closer to third -placed Nottingham, but Bournemouth is in a great march."

"Will there be new deals? I don't know. What I would like to return is the main team at the beginning of the new season."
