Man City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to Sky Sports: "Really tough opponent. His transition, set-pieces, throw-ins, we suffered in the first minutes but after that we played a really good game. Especially the left side in the first half, both sides in the second.
"Jeremy [Doku] is outstanding in many things. Second half we put more players in the box, first half we didn't which is why we struggled. At the end we took a good result and keep going."
On Doku: "Looks like a final product already, of course, he can improve. Always had this incredible ability to dribble and to make action and connection, it's outstanding. But now it's winning games. I'm so incredibly pleased to have a guy that brings energy and that can score goals."
On Arsenal: "We will see, that is not in our hands. We will do our job. We didn't do it perfectly with Everton. We will do our job and wait."
On players not giving up: "Everton was the real proof, 3-1 down and emotions. The second half we give away. It happened last season many times, now we're more solid but we still give away. That's football, it's how you react. I'm pleased for the way we have done it."
Man City's Jeremy Doku, speaking to BBC's Match of the day on his goal: "Looks a bit like the one against Everton, we wanted to take short, the corner, I go past my man and then I look for the pass in between, the ball comes back and I'm inside the box and I feel I have space to shoot and I do it without thinking and I'm happy that it went in."
On whether he plays without thinking too much about it: "I'm an instinct player. Today it's working out. I scored some goals, I've always played with instinct but now the goals are coming. I haven't been a different player.
"I feel like after the first chance, the right back tried to close my right foot, so we opened more on the right side and tested my speed. On the goal I felt like I had the space to come inside and I tried to shoot."
On getting points: "Yeah, I feel like 0-0 against a team like that, who are dangerous on set-pieces. We knew we had to score.
"When we scored the goal, there was more space and then we had a second goal. We were relieved and happy and we know that we need goals. I am happy for Omar [Marmoush] he has been training hard and this is about the work he has put in so I am happy for him."
