    Manchester City smashed through the 100-goal barrier this season in their 3-0 win at managerless Huddersfield – but boss Pep Guardiola wants more.

    The champions cruised to their fourth straight Premier League win thanks to Danilo’s first-half deflected effort and quickfire goals from Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane early in the second period.

    But, despite closing the gap on leaders Liverpool to four points and scoring their 102nd goal in all competitions this season, City were not at their best and Guardiola has called for improvement.

    “We are happy we have won, but immediately we have to analyse what we have done and to win in the future we have to play good,” he said.

    “During the season you have games when maybe you are not in the top level and it is important to win these games.

    “All the teams have that, but to arrive in the last stage of competitions our game will have to improve.”

    Asked how he could expect his side to get better, Guardiola said: “Our pace, more passes in a row – we were not able to make a lot of passes. Always in football when you play good you have the ball as much as possible.”
