Manchester City are back at the top of the English Premier League table after beating struggling Southampton 1-0 at home on Oct 26.
With the victory, Pep Guardiola's men have 23 points from nine games, two ahead of Liverpool, who travel to Arsenal on Oct 27 as the title race heats up in this early part of the season.
"We have a lot of respect for all the teams in the Premier League," City's Bernardo Silva told Sky Sports. "These guys we played today, I watched the games they played in the season and I think they deserve a lot more points than what they've got.
"They press high, they try to build up with the ball. It makes it very difficult to press them because if you go man-to-man in the middle then it's not easy for our defenders. Tough game for us but very happy with the three points.
"We're used to that when teams defend deep against us which makes it more difficult, we have to be patient.
"We had our chances to score three or four goals to make it, but they deserve a lot of credit for what they did here today."
