Pep Guardiola has expressed pride at seeing the character of his Manchester City team.
The Sky Blues bounced back from their first loss of the season against Liverpool by beating Newcastle at home, maintaining their 12 point lead at the top of the table.
"I said many times it was going to happen, we can lose, so [it is] important the reaction we have to do," Guardiola said.
"Still we have 42 points to play [for]. It is 14 games. It is a lot of games to play and difficult games like Saturday and like Liverpool. It is important to show the team is still there but I don't have the feeling we give up.
"We want to go through to the final in the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, so [we have] a lot of games but I think the people have the desire to keep going, to keep going, to keep going.
"Even with 12 points it is important to see the personality, the team and try to do the things with no mistakes. Never did I not see it this season and that is why I am so proud to be their manager."
