Jose Mourinho looks on at the Etihad

David Silva gave City the lead, before Sergio Aguero doubled their advantage three minutes after the break.An Anthony Martial penalty gave United hope, but Ilkay Gundogan struck a third late on to seal a deserved win for Pep Guardiola‘s side.Despite the spot-kick from Martial being United’s only shot on target, Mourinho’s response was typically frank.“I think we are not going to be relegated,” he said.“So, when I analyse the game today, I think the difference was, you can go for stats.“That’s the way people that don’t understand football analyse football, is with stats.2

“I don’t go for stats, I go for what I felt and I watch in the game and the game was there until minute 80-something.”Following the international break, United return to action when they host Crystal Palace and Mourinho believes the derby defeat will not stop his side from achieving their goals.“One thing is a bad performance another thing is a performance with mistakes.“We made mistakes, we were punished by these mistakes, but the performance, the mentality, the togetherness, the belief, the fight until the end was something that we are building and we are not going to lose that because of a defeat.” Counterpart Guardiola was pleased with a deserved derby victory that gives City a two-point cushion at the top after 12 games – a stage reached with three unbeaten teams for the first time in English top-flight history.“It is two points,” the City boss said. “Four points from Chelsea. It is nothing…it’s good, especially where we come from.”Guardiola was in relaxed mood in the post-match press conference but appeared het up when going over to Raheem Sterling at the final whistle – a player who appeared to irk Juan Mata by doing stepovers at the end.“I like a lot when he played,” Guardiola said. “The best way to defend the result is to keep the ball. It’s the best way.“And they did it, with Leroy (Sane) and Phil (Foden), they did it.“That situation with two or three minutes left, they control absolutely. It’s not just the best way defending back, because everything can happen.“But he made some movements with the legs, we can avoid it, but he’s young and he’s going to improve.”
