Maybe Arsene will say that is [a] penalty," said Guardiola. "I think the penalty is more than clear."He can still improve but he's made a big step. He's winning games. Now he's a winning player. "But not just in terms of goals, now he's strong, keeps the ball... before he used to lose a lot of balls. He's 22 years old and still he can improve a lot."He's able to... if he wants to learn. We'll be there to help him." City were far from at their best, but Guardiola was delighted with his side's gritty display as they claimed their 12th win from 13 league matches."The Premier League is so tough, now winter has come, we knew they were so aggressive, so strong, but we are so happy for the way we won," Guardiola told BBC Sport. "It was a brilliant move to win the penalty. It is impossible to win every game easily, this league is so tough. The guys competed amazingly, which is why we won."</blockquote>
