Pep Guardiola did a post-match interview in a unique setting and scenario after Manchester City's 3-1 win over Everton.

The recently crowned world champions came from behind to beat the Toffees after Jack Harrison opened the scoring.

Phil Foden levelled matters shortly after the break, before Julian Alvarez converted a penalty past Jordan Pickford after Amadou Onana was controversially penalised for handball.

Bernardo Silva wrapped up the points with a delicate finish following a mistake from Pickford.

City moved within five points of league leaders Liverpool with the win and got back to winning ways domestically after a disappointing run.

Guardiola was delighted with what was a huge win for City and he took part in a rather peculiar chat afterwards.

Amazon Prime showed the 20:15pm kick off at Goodison Park, with Steve Bower presenting and Roberto Martinez, Gael Clichy and Michael Owen all providing punditry.

They were stationed pitchside to begin with but that soon changed because of the adverse weather conditions on Merseyside.

At first the crew braved it by wearing umbrellas but then they were forced to retreat to the stands due to being in "danger".

There was confusion from viewers but Bower explained the situation, saying: "Thunder and lightning at Goodison, it’s been rather interesting the last few minutes.

“We are not really supposed to mention the weather as we are in a privileged position but we were in a little bit of danger so we have re-positioned, Test match cricket style maybe, into the stand.”

Guardiola was whisked in to give his thoughts on the game and sat next to former City and Arsenal left-back Clichy in the seats that Everton supporters had just been sat in.

In an entertaining chat, he said: “We were really good - that’s why we are the best team in the world. I’m sorry.

“I remind them every day. We have standards to keep and that makes us have more responsibility.

“So we cannot let the standards go down.”
