Savinho and Rayan Cherki were the goalscorers on Wednesday night.
“What I like from Savinho is always he is digging, go go go all the time,” said Guardiola.
“The final decision can be better, of course, but always I reward this work ethic and especially because he goes and he goes all the time.
“Like Jeremy (Doku) when he has the ball he goes and goes. Last season he played a lot of minutes with us.
“Sometimes we don’t play with a proper wingers. We play slightly differently in the last seasons, maybe play less. But we trust him a lot, he’s young.
“He can play right and left side, both sides. He’s a player that is so aggressive. And in time we improve the final decision and will become a top, top class player.”
On fellow goalscorer Cherki, Guardiola enthused: “He made a fantastic goal.
“A blind guy, blind woman can realise, you don’t have to be a journalist or a manager to realise that was a fantastic goal.
“And so many times with Phil ,these types of goals we had before. So happy that it opened the game.”
