PEP Guardiola was delighted with Jack Grealish's desire to drive at Chelsea's defence in his 'magnificent' performance in City's Carabao Cup win.

Pep's Greal excitement over Jack's display!

The forward was denied on three occasions by Edouard Mendy during the 2-0 win, but his quick feet and driving runs were a constant threat to the visitors.

Grealish is expected to be named in the England squad for the World Cup today and this was one of his best performances of the season, playing in a slightly narrower position off the left.

Grealish thrived in the City side without Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden, taking on more responsibility, but Guardiola knows he can achieve that whoever he plays alongside.

"I want Jack to have the responsibility, to play with Kevin with Phil. Today the best step Jack has done is when he gets the ball wider or more inside to attack the back line, the back four for Chelsea, always his intention was to pass the ball," said the City boss.
