Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said his club was back after watching his players outclass Chelsea 3-1 to move into the top five of the Premier League standings on Sunday.

City scored three times in the first 16 minutes as Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne helped the visiting team send a warning to the other title contenders.

“We played really well,” Guardiola said. “Today we were back like we were. An important win at Chelsea away.
