Do you know how many times Son punishes us in the last seven or eight years? Can I tell you how many goals they score against us with Harry Kane?\u2019 Guardiola said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Oh my god. I said, no not again. But then Stefan made an incredible save because he has this talent. In the one against one, he is one of the best \u2018keepers I have every seen in my life. It\u2019s a German culture, stand up, don\u2019t go down, he\u2019s really, really good.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"post-strip trending-post-strip\" data-nosnippet=\"\" data-vars-type=\"trending-post-strip\" data-track-module=\"trending-post-strip_article\">\n<h3 class=\"zopo-more\">More Trending<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Read More Stories<\/aside>\n<p>\u2018Since he arrives he plays in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, even this season Ederson has four set-backs for injuries and he is always so reliable. He\u2019s an incredible, incredible \u2018keeper, so our \u2018keeper trainer made an incredible decision to bring him here.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The victory at Sputs puts Manchester Cuty two points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table with one game to play.<\/p>\n<p>That game is at home to West Ham on Sunday, with the Gunners hoping for an unlikely slip-up as they host Everton.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal do have a superior goal difference, so if City were to draw and Mikel Arteta\u2019s side win then the title would be heading to the red side of north London.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span class=\"mor-link\"
