Pep Guardiola praised Manchester City's 2-1 comeback win at Huddersfield Town.

“We spoke about needing this kind of situation to happen,” Guardiola said. “We have to be in trouble because when you are 1-0 down you have to know how to live with that situation. To win the Premier League, you have to live through these kind of games. It’s a big positive because we showed a lot of focus. That is why I am so happy. It was a real Premier League game – we played against a tough team and winter has come, but we did it and now we can continue.”

City has a comfortable lead over Manchester United in the Premier League.

“It definitely gives me more satisfaction,” Guardiola said of the team’s second-half recovery. “We need to win games in that way. It is so important that you have to suffer and still be able to win the game. We made an outstanding performance in that sense.”
