Pep Guardiola got a valuable three points in a game against Fulham. But he was still looking for more from his players. City were 2-0 winners thanks to early goals from Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne. It was the first time City have recorded back-to-back wins in the Premier League this season, and they also kept a fourth straight clean sheet in a productive afternoon at the Etihad. "We struggled at the beginning of the season for many reasons," Guardiola told BBC Sport, reminding his forwards it is their job to finish chances. Now four games, four clean sheets. It's so important for us to maintain this solidity "The finishing was wasteful. We know we have to improve this, but it's important to keep creating the chances. In the last 20 minutes we lost too many simple balls, which is a problem. We have to do the simple things better. That is the next step. Sterling scored a goal and won a penalty. It's important for the players up front to be scoring goals." Guardiola predicted more tight games as the table takes shape going into the Christmas period, insisting nothing will be decided in December. He explained: "This season looks like there will be a lot of teams in contention. Everyone can beat everyone. In this month it was important to get qualification for the Champions League, now we focus on the Premier League. It will be a long season."
