Goals come from performances not from Santa Claus: Pep Guardiola

In the last three Premier League games, Manchester City have only found the net on two occasions

Manchester: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has stressed that his side will have to put up good performances to score goals as goals do not come as a “present from Santa Claus”.

“The goals don’t come as a present from Santa Claus – it comes from your performance. Of course, it’s important but it is a consequence. We have to play better. That’s what we have to do. We have to restart the way we play,” the club’s official website quoted Guardiola as saying.
“That’s what we have to look at. The goals will come after… We still have good team spirit and players, with many games to play, many things can happen,” he added.

Praising youngster Phil Foden, the manager said: “He is one of the most incredible players I have seen at that age. He is so good. We are in love with this guy.
