RUBEN DIAS claimed that Manchester City stars have the "tunnel vision" to keep winning after earning back-to-back Premier League clean sheets for the first time since August.
"Better than having won is to keep winning," he insisted as City prepare for a huge month ahead.
Title rivals Liverpool and Arsenal both romped to 4-0 victories at Bournemouth this season.
But the reigning champions needed to run down the clock during a nervous six minutes of second-half injury time on the freezing south coast to protect their slender lead and close within a point of leaders Liverpool.
Goalscorer Phil Foden (right), John Stones and Bernardo Silva threw their shirts into the crowd in relief and celebration after City extended their unbeaten run to 17 games.
"It was a game where we knew we were going to have to fight," admitted Dias, 26.
