Manchester City defeated Luton Town 5-1 to go top of the Premier League, and Pep Guardiola has singled out one player for special praise.

Pep Guardiola says he is delighted with the progress of left-footed talented defender Josko Gvardiol.

The Croatian defender scored his second spectacular goal in four days with his strike against Luton Town capping off another impressive performance.

Guardiola hails new and improved Gvardiol

And the City boss says Gvardiol is settling into City life after a difficult start.

“[He has] improved a lot,” Guardiola said.

“He arrived and in some periods was confused. He lost a lot of balls, every time he had the ball he wanted to make exceptional things. 

“We talked together and said the defender had to do the most easy, simple things. 

“He has an incredible talent and I encourage him to do it again and again and again.”
