That’s all for tonight. I’ll leave you with David Hytner’s report from the Etihad. Thanks for your company and emails - goodnight!
Post-match interviews
Rodri
“We showed the personality we have in the team. What happened in Madrid was incredible but football is like this. We had to wake up because we have another title to fight for.
“We know that set-pieces are important. We often play against teams who defend narrow, so we have to be effective in other ways. To be champions you have to be the best in different parts of the game.
“Emotionally, this is a vital win. The mood wasn’t very high, as you could see, but on Friday we switched on. I think we did unbelievable work here [points to his noggin] – sometimes that’s more important than the legs.”
Jack Grealish
“We always knew there’d be pressure on us today after what happened in the week but I think we bounced back perfectly. We didn’t really talk about goal difference but it’s common sense. The main thing today was to win the game.
“[Did goal difference come into your mind more towards the end of the game?] A little bit, but that’s football anyway – you want to score goals. Especially me because I haven’t had as many goals and assists as I wanted this season!
“We have to get back in tomorrow and prepare well, because we have another big game on Wednesday.”
"The personality we showed today was unbelievable" 💪
